(I think it is just above yours)

____________________________

go here to get the installer tool

http://support.brother.com/g/b/download ... &type3=625

use the two commands in the above;

your final command would be

sudo bash linux-brprinter-installer-2.0.0-1 DCP-J725DW

Many thanks for that . It's worked a treat.
Dont forget to alter the name of the printer in your final command to the model of the printer you are using.
Also i had to select to enter the IP Adress of the printer from a list of choices (i have copied and pasted them below.)
i selected no 13 and then filled in the printers IP address from the network configuration printout obtained from the printer touch screen menu.
0: lpd
1: ipps
2: socket
3: https
4: ipp
5: ipp14
6: http
7: hp
8: serial:/dev/ttyS0?baud=115200
9: smb
10: hpfax
11: dnssd://Brother%20DCP-J725DW._ipp._tcp.local/
12: lpd://BRWF4B7E29F73B5/BINARY_P1
13 (I): Specify IP address.
14 (A): Auto. (usb://dev/usblp0)

select the number of destination Device URI. ->13

enter IP address ->192.168.1.64


Once again many thanks
