Hi Radim,

Here is the english language version of the driver page, it is for a
similar model but the drivers should work:-

http://support.brother.com/g/b/downloadlist.aspx?c=gb=en=dcp7010_eu_as=128

If you get stuck there is more general information on linux drivers here:-

http://support.brother.com/g/s/id/linux/en/index.html?c=us_ot=en=on=on

The general linux information pages can be a bit out of date but things
seem to work with the latest versions of Ubuntu. I have a Brother
multi-function printer, and both printing and scanning work well on
Ubuntu 16.04 when using the drivers from the Brother site.

Cheers,
Barry T

Hello there,

I was wondering if anybody knows where to get hold of drivers
for Brother printer for Lubuntu 16.04.

I already contacted Brother customer support, however they
were unable to answer my request.

As soon as I plug in my printer via USB port into laptop, the system
does not recognise this device.


For sure lubuntu doesn't ship with cups

sudo apt-get install cups cups-filters cups-pdf

Should work, according to this page:

https://www.openprinting.org/printer/Brother/Brother-DCP-7010

Does scanning work with simple scan?

There is also this page on brother page:
