Brother Printer - Problem with non-existing dir '/lib/udev/rules.d/*.rules'

Hello,

I see, the problem has been already solved. Anyway a hint for the future:
For my brother printers I have every time used the Driver Install Tool from brother without problems.
Hier the link for your printer:

This is indeed a strange way to alter IP addresses. Adding a 0 before a number means of some environments that the number is octal, but even that is not applicable in IPv4 addresses.

Dear Antoine,

Sorry for delay I was on a kind of vacations…

I think that your problem is that a command like

ln -s /usr/lib/udev/rules.d /lib/udev/rules.d

will not work if you have not created first a directory

/lib/udev/

and only after it you should say

ln -s /usr/lib/udev/rules.d /lib/udev/rules.d.

Thus, what I have done from the command line:

su
Password:

cd /

mkdir /lib/udev

ln -s /usr/lib/udev/rules.d /lib/udev/rules.d

And everything works.

I hope it helps. If you are a beginner I would strongly recommend to master a beautiful file/command manager

named midnight commander. It is included in every linux distribution and extremely useful for beginners and not only

(I am using suse linux 30+ years and on every my desktop window there is at least one terminal with working midnight commander in it).

Just run a terminal and say:

mc

Here you will find a lot of info about the manager:

Good luck! Konstantin

That helped with my Brother MFC-7360N Laserprinter!

@felbre: That was mentioned earlier in the thread, and not related to the OP’s reported issue in any case. It was an IP config issue (network printer), now resolved. :wink:
