Install Brother DCP-115c Printer in Lubuntu 12.04

1. Install brother-lpr-drivers-extra and dependencies.

2. Go to Printers/Add printer. Choose Brother MFC-210C-CUPS.

3. Go to http://localhost:631/printers in the web browser, and change in default options size from Letter to A4.

4. For the scanner: Install sane-utils

5. Then install brscan2 and scan-key-tool pakages from http://welcome.solutions.brother.com/bsc/public_s/id/linux/en/download_scn.html

sudo dpkg -i –force-all drivername

NOTE: Search for the right scan driver. For dcp-115c is brscan2. If you install brscan it would be difficult tu uninstall it.

TO UNINSTALL brscan: Uninstall scan-key-tool. Then create the folders /usr/local/Brother and /usr/local/Brother/sane. then you can remove brscan with synaptic.
