Re: brother printer installation
Just to make sure, "pwd" indicates that you are in the Downloads folder, and "ls" shows the file with the gz extensions? Could there have been a typo in the command to unzip the thing? CHARLES ALBERT

Re: brother printer installation
The file, linux-brinter-installed-2.2.2-1.gz, that I downloaded was 24443-bytes in length and gunzip'd just fine. Unzipped, the file size should be 142235-bytes. In your terminal you should have been

Re: brother printer installation
Never used CUPS, so I'd have to read up on ppd files and their whereabouts, including the wherefroms. I wouldn't be surprised if Brother didn't provide a driver for platforms other than Windows, Mac,
