1. Using Mint package manager install ia32-libs

2. Brother website: Download "cuppswrapper driver & lpr driver for your model (*.deb files)

3. Copy above downloaded drivers into a common directory.

4. Open a terminal into the above common directory.

5. type: sudo dpkg -i --force-all *.deb

6. Open desktop >Menu>Administration>Printing & setup your printer.

7. I use "localhost:631" to check everything and print a test page.

Being as old as I am (78) I need everything simple, The above should work for 32 bit drivers
on a 64bit OS.
