Use printer in Ubuntu 11

**Pepin Sidonia** · 01-05-2012, 12:40 PM

Hi all.Long head is spinning me to configure a printer that I have to use it on Linux, and not have to start Windows each time you need it. I was wondering if you can configure the CUPS to detect it and I can send documents to print. I looked over and the main problem I find is that the model of printer does not have drivers for Ubuntu 64 bits, as my system. The printer model: Brother DCP-8070D . Can you give me a helping hand

The website itself says that is supported in GNU / Linux and provide drivers for it. Take a look at this I've found

Thanks for answering. Since I was looking there and the matter is that no specific drivers for 64 bit, 32-bit only. Libraries I have to run Ubuntu 32-bit programs, but not for that. In general I find that Brother has very poor support for Linux in any case. CUPS hoped that the thing was different

I have also seen in the page itself a source for your Brother printer (source code, that is), could prove to download them and compile yourself.

For reading these instructions, it seems that no matter other than for 32 bit, with the cupswrapper and 32 bit libraries should work. Then I would configure web as it appears in this howto and ready.
