Hi,
Rookie to the Mint 18.3. I'm trying to install my Brother MFC-J625DW. However, it failed to print anything after drivers installed, and I understand that lib32 is no longer available. I'm using the latest linux-brprinter-installer-2.2.0-1. Please help!

Follow the instructions for installing Brother printers. I did and it was completely successful.
And then go to the Home page and find a host of other good tips. It is well worth the visit.

Hi,
Thanks for your kind reply! Procedures are partially working. Scanning is working now, but not for printing. I'm using USB direct connection. Printer display screen turns on when a job is send, however, nothing comes out from the printer and the printer queue is empty.

Re: Trying to install my Brother MFC-J625DW
Yes, I agree with you that the spool is either not working or configured properly.
Re: Trying to install my Brother MFC-J625DW
Finally, I fix it by re-install the Mint. Thanks for your help!
