I cannot get my Brother MFC-7220 to work. All steps taken as root. Here are
the steps I have taken:
1) With Print Manager Print System set to CUPS, printer is seen but no
driver available. No surprise there. Set to LPR/LPRng Print System printer
ADD button is grayed out and the printer is not seen.
2) From http://solutions.brther.com/linux/en_us/index.html got a
CUPSWRAPPER rpm for the printer. Running it to install got the following error:
'There is no installable providers of lpr for
cupswrapperMFC7220.1.0.1-2.i386 [local packages]'
3) Brother site had lpr rpm for this printer: LPRlpr-1.1.2-4.i386.rpm which
installed successfully.
4) Attempts to run cupswrapper again returned to same error.
Note: Brother says the wrappers are optimized for 32 bit Linux and I am
attempting to setup 64 bit. However I do not think this is the source of
the current roadblock.
I would appreciate any help in resolving this issue.
