Brother MFC-8420

#1 (**permalink**) 25-May-2006, 18:46

SUSE 10.1 finds and correctly identifies my Brother MFC-8420 connected via
parallel port, but it fails the communications test and printing test in YAST.

I switched to USB and printing works. Now, how do I configure scanning so
that it works?

I have a brother 1250 printer which works fine under Suse 8 & 9.3. After
loading 10.1 this fails to recognise the printer which is parallel. Other
printers on the network are recognised. Cannot complete configuration of
this, says there is an error accessing the // printer?
