Correction. I installed all over on another PC running Ubuntu 12.04.
Here is what was needed to install the printer in my system:
Follow #11 above (except that I do not need to --force-architecture
since I user i86, not 64 bit)
Add the printer to /etc/hosts, in my case the printer has static addr
I have exactly the same problem under 32 bit Ubuntu with the exact same
printer. #11 solved it for me.
It's a great printer, and it works quite well under Ubuntu. Please add
support for it. Installing the printer in this way is a hassle!

I had exactly the same problem as described in the "bug description" with the
32 bit version of official Ubuntu release 12.04.
The instructions of comment 11 did work for me, and I can now print a test page
with the newly installed printer. However, I do not know how to set a "PPD"

Unfortunately, I do not know much about that printer. In the Precise
live session, try different similar models and also "Generic PCL-...
printer" choices. Please tell which ones work.
Note that we cannot include Brother's drivers as they are not free
software.

Hi Till
Using the live CD with updates, Ubuntu does not have a Brother 7440
driver to use. When adding a printer manually Ubuntu recommends the
nearest match -> Brother 7450, however the print driver does not work.
I have included the links to the open source drivers in the original
ticket. Cou

I downloaded the x64 image from here:

know where I can get a live CD for the beta?

Can you boot a Ubuntu Precise (12.04) beta live CD, do a complete
update, and try printing again?
We have done improvements on USB support and PostScript printing. You
should be able to print with all BR-Script and Foomatic/Postscript
PPDs/drivers as long as they are explicitly made for Brother pr
Thanks for the response Till.
My understanding of the issue is that Ubuntu identifies the printer
correctly but installs the wrong driver, or, the CUPS driver that Ubuntu
installs has a bug. (Making it an Ubuntu/CUPS issue)
As a workaround, the steps from Post 11 have been taken to get it
workin
The last comments suggest that users did not correctly install Brother's
proprietary driver, considting of an LPD driver and a CUPS wrapper. At
Ubuntu we cannot do much about that. Brother has to take care of making
their drivers easily installable. Therefore I marked this bug invalid
for Ubuntu.
Hi Till,
Can you please elaborate on the 'Invalid' status?
>From the notes there are a number of people who have this problem so it
is a 'Valid' issue. There is a work around at post #11.
What needs to be done to fix this permanently for everyone?

Problem solved for me as well.
The missing piece was that one needs to install the Brother LPD driver
as well as the CUPS driver. One is not enough.

I tried again after restarting the printer but there was no luck. It
seems the drivers for the 7450 are not meant for the 7440N at all.
I did some more searching and have been able to get the printer working.
It is using 7440N drivers and a cupswrapper. Below is how to set it up.

Do the following:
Turn off and turn on the printer again and from now on do not try to
poll the toner levels with CUPS. Your error_log contains jobs where you
have sent a command file for polling the toner levels. CUPS recognized
this file correctly but instead of using the commandtops filter it

Hi Till,
I appreciate you looking at this and will do everything I can to help
you. I appologise if its too verbose, but I want to make sure I am
giving you all the information you need clearly so that you know exactly
what I have done and what the outcome is.
I have updated my system and re-tes
First, can you take care that your system is completely up-to-date?
There are several updates, especially to fix bugs with PostScript
printers (BRScript is Brother's PostScript interpreter) and also with
USB printers. Use update-manager or run the commands
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get dist-upg
Not satisfactorily. The hpijs-pcl5e solution prints, but the quality
isn't great. It's nowhere near how well things were working when I set
it up with an older Ubuntu more than a year ago. Then, it just worked,
and the print quality was fine. Living with PCL is a sub-optimal (by
far) solution.
Hi Paul,
Did you end up getting this printer to print correctly?
If so would you mind posting some instructions so I can follow them.
Thanks,
Ron

Also tried using Apple Laserwriter NT PS driver, which had the same many
blank pages result.
Tried both PS and Brscript driver for same printer under Ubuntu 10.10
using lpd, and got same results.
Would blame the brother printer, but it works fine from the family's Mac
OS X box using cups and lpd.
Randomly trying other drivers...
HL1030 driver works (Brother HL-1030 Foomatic/hl1250) but there are artifacts
(blocks under some letters).
Brother HL-2460N Foomatic/Postscript gets -- blank pages.
Brother HL-5030 - CUPS+Gutenprint v5.2.6 Simplified -- no output
Brother MFC-6550MC Foomatic/ljet2p
I have the same problem, except:
I connect via network. I can connect via LPD (multiple queues, or none)
or IPP.
brscript results in no output at all.
foomatic results in many empty pages.
I am NOT using the 7440 driver, I am using the 7450 driver which came
with stock Ubuntu 11.04. However t
