Brother-HL-L2380DW-series

Post by Termy »

I'm not sure where to put this. My girlfriend went to a friends house today, with her laptop on which I installed and cleaned up Linux Lite 3.8. Anyway, it's running a "Brother-HL-L2380DW-series" printer, wirelessly, just fine, apparently. I had to install the openprinting-gutenprint package, but that wasn't a big deal. The printer configuration and set up GUI failed hard (freezing), but, as usual, the terminal came to the rescue, via sudo apt-get install openprinting-gutenprint. Anywho, just wanted to say that this printer seems to work in Linux, in-case anyone, anywhere is curious. :roll:

I realise Linux Lite is not Linux Mint, by the way. lol Same base, however. Oh, and the kernel she's using is, if I remember correctly, 4.4.
