1. Download the printer drivers (rpm packages NOT deb packages) from the Brother web site.
2. Convert rpm's to tgz using rpm2tgz:
Code: Select all
rpm2tgz hl1110cupswrapper-3.0.1-1.i386.rpm
rpm2tgz hl1110lpr-3.0.1-1.i386.rpm
Code: Select all
installpkg hl1110lpr-3.0.1-1.i386.tgz
installpkg hl1110cupswrapper-3.0.1-1.i386.tgz
remain there, move the other file (brother_lpdwrapper_HL1110) into /usr/lib/cups/filter.
4. Change the permissions of the file you just moved:
Code: Select all
sudo chown root.root /usr/lib/cups/filter/brother_lpdwrapper_HL1110
Code: Select all
sudo ln -s /etc/rc.d/rc.cups /etc/init.d/cups
6. I used system-config-printer to add the new printer. You may need to install this first, alternatively
you could use the CUPS interface (select "Manage Printing" from the Salix menu). When you get to
the "Choose driver" step you need to select the "Provide PPD file" option. Select it from the folder
/opt/brother/Printers/HL1110/cupswrapper and complete the process.
That's it!
