--- Comment #1 from Johannes Meixner ---
First and foremost see
https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Submitting_bug_reports
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Bugzilla is no replacement for support.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
According to
http://support.brother.com/g/b/spec.aspx?c=us&lang=en&prod=hl3040cn_all
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
HL-3040CN
Specification
...
PRINTER
Emulation N/A(Host-Based only)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
the Brother HL-3040CN is a so called "GDI" printer, see
https://en.opensuse.org/SDB:GDI_Printers
Therefore the issue is invalid for openSUSE.
It is no bug in openSUSE when it does not support hardware
that requires a proprietary driver.
According to
http://support.brother.com/g/b/oslist.aspx?c=us&lang=en&prod=hl3040cn_all
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
HL-3040CN
Supported OS
...
Linux
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
it seems Brother provides a driver for Linux, see also

In general regarding proprietary third-party software
(e.g. printer driver software from printer manufacturers):
For proprietary software nobody - except the authors or vendor of
the proprietary software - can provide any kind of help and support
because nobody - except the authors or vendor - know how their
proprietary software really works.
In this case you can only contact those wherefrom you got the
proprietary software for any kind of help and support.
