jake29, tried your new package and it didn't work either.smokey01 wrote:Thanks jake I will check it out. I now have my hands on the printer so I should be able to get the printer ID.

Are you able to get this ID? example: 0x0282,13,1,"MFC-J625DW"
Here is a corrected version of the file previously uploaded: brother-print-scan-modified_fixed.tar.xz
Device ID appears to be 025c.
lsusb reports: Bus 007 Device 002: ID 04f9:025c Brother Industries, Ltd
I hope that helps.
I also run this machine as root, not spot. Too many restrictions using spot.
When it didn't work using your package, well I turned it into a package then installed it, I tried using just the ppd file and that didn't work either.
I was expecting to see the driver (mfc-j415w) show up in cups for selection. It didn't. Just two entries of BrGenML1 for CUPS (en).
