[Donn Washburn <n5xwb@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hey Group;

enclosed is an attempt to track out the reason my Brothers MFC7840W USB 
printer fails to work with openSuSE and Brothers free drivers.  I see 
nothing in these errors that appears wrong.  "lp", cups and libusb all 
seem to be working.  The kernel module is mounted.  I downloaded a 
standard Linux kernel and built it up even to try a different usblp 
kernel module - no help.   http://localhost:631 amd Yast2 have been tried

Can anyone suggest another idea to check - i have tried it as root and a 
user

I have been tracking a error cusing a Brother's MFC7840W printer with 
Brother's
