Installling a brother printer in Ubuntu 12.04 (MFCJ6510DW)
- by Gelterfinger
I am trying to install a Brother MfCJ6510DW printer on Ubuntu 12.04. I have tried various ways, but nothing woks for me. I have downloaded the drivers from the solutions brother.com
I tried to install from the "System setting- printing" on the pull-down menu.
There I get the message "failed to read PPL file - it says something about a missing Asterisk in colum1 Line 1
In the terminal I get the message cannot find file or directory.
Under localhost:631/printer, I get the message " no such file or directory"
I tried to install the file I downloaded from the Brothers Solution Center on the Ubuntu Software Centre, there I get the message " The package is of bad quality"
Help
I downloaded Mfcj6510dwlpr-3.0.0-1.i386.deb and mfcj6510dwcupswrapper-3.0.0-1.i386
I also downloaded linux-bprinter-installer-1.0.0-1.gz, but this does not help either.
