The driver was then available on the support.brother.com web page, now its 2 years old so they hid it, but the installer script I also posted, and which is likely a copyright violation too, can still get it and install it. CUPS recognizes the duplex options and can control them, and I just found the open office printer dialog does too, but haven't found a suitable document for a test print from OO, it doesn't seem to want to load and display a .pdf. > > The lack of advice on the HL-3170CDW at openprinting is an indication > > that no user of it has added any, not a judgement on whether it works > > on Linux. > > Yes, but if there had been advice it woudl have been useful. > > So do you agree with Gene that it is a Wheezy bug? > > Lisi Cheers, Gene Heskett -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
