Brother DCP-120C Printer in 64 Bit Debian Edition
Posted: Fri Mar 18, 2011 3:17 pm
Hi Guys
I'm a complete newcomer to LMDE but have used Ubuntu for quite a number of years along with other distos such as Mint and Pinguyos, I've even used Arch although I found it to be a bit too much as it took 2 days to install and configure graphics card driver. I prefer things to 'just work' and have found Mint to be ideal for this, with the exception of installing iplayer on the 64 bit edition. I love the idea of LMDE and have installed it twice, but I keep going back to ordinary Mint as I am in college and need to be able to print work. I have a Brother DCP-120C printer which works fine in Ubuntu and Mint by simply installing the brother-cups-wrapper-extra package in synaptic. I would love to stick with LMDE but because I can't print I can't. Does anyone know how I can get my printer to work? I have manually installed and configured the printer but never manage to get it to print. I am also having difficulty in getting my Nvidia graphics card to work, Jockey works perfectly but alas, is only for Ubuntu. I know there is a manual installation method for proprietry graphics cards but have never got it to work properly.
Can anyone help, please?
Thanks
