Hi Egon,

I'm quite happy to step you through the process, I have a Brother
printer as well (DCP-130C). I will convert this bug to a question as
soon as launchpad stops timing out when I try to.

You will not be able to install the printer via synaptic command (sudo
apt-get install), we need to install the packages from the Brother site
and install them manually.

Make sure you have both the CUPS wrapper driver
(cupswrapperMFC210C-1.0.2-3.i386.deb) and the LPR Driver
(mfc210clpr-1.0.2-1.i386.deb), and make sure you have downloaded the
.deb version (not rpm). It makes it easier if you copy these to your
/tmp folder.

Once you have copied both of these files to the /tmp folder, then open a
terminal window and navigate to the tmp directory with the command 'cd
/tmp'. Then we will use dpkg (the manual version of apt-get) to unpack
the deb file.

[CODE]
sudo dpkg -i --force-all cupswrapperMFC210C-1.0.2-3.i386.deb
sudo dpkg -i --force-all mfc210clpr-1.0.2-1.i386.deb
[/CODE]

If that works, you should be able to see your printer here by pointing
any web browser here 'jttp://localhost:631/printers'. You should be able
to select 'Print a Test Page' from somewhere near there (maybe click on
your printer first).

Does the DCP-115C have scanning as well? If this works for you, then we
can look at scanning.
