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 address 192.168.11.10: sudo gedit /etc/hosts add a line under 127.0.0.1 LOCALHOST 192.168.11.10 MFC.7440N Open the printer app, add a printer. Expand the >Network printer, wait some time, and select the MFC-7440N Install, but when asked about manufacturer, select (O) Supply PPD file... Browser to /usr/share/cups/model, and select the file MFC7440.PPD Print a test page, Open printer properties, set the paper size (Letter is default, I use A4), go through other settings, such as toner save, resolution (1200 DPI) ... Works for me, and it's a great little printer, but this is a hassle! -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/873548 Title: Brother MFC 7440N printer is detected but will not print To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cups/+bug/873548/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
