How to use Brother MFC-J435W?

#1 Post by lrmall01 »

This model printer isn't in the list of options when installing with CUPS.

Brother does happen to have a driver and cupswrapper located here:

http://support.brother.com/g/b/download ... fcj435w_us

However, it is a .deb package. Following their instructions looks like it fails when the script tries to use dpkg to install the packages.

So, I just double clicked the .deb files to install them manually.

I end up seeing the printer installed in CUPS but it doesn't work when I try a test page.

Should it be possible to get this working? Or am I out of luck since they don't provide a tarball?
