We are having major problems with our Athlon 64 system that is being used as a desktop.
We are running a Brother printer that is not listed in the drivers list, but has been printed to using the gimp-print driver. (known to work the largest number of printers)
Now Brother doesn't "support" linux, but they do provide linux drivers for some of their other printers. Also the printer is similar to our HP laserjet, and it runs flawlessly.
Any suggestions?? Joel Webb
Complain to Brother then go buy a non-Brother, known to work with Linux printer. Check linuxprinting.org by manufacturer/model for possible alternative drivers. Google for any ideas about using other drivers not mentioned at linuxprinting.org. Otherwise: - Use that Brother printer on an operating system that has drivers for it - eBay it - donate it to a worthy cause that uses an operating system that has drivers for it - use it as a door stop Been there, done that with a Brother printer on LInux.
