btw, did you bother looking for instructions *specific* to openSUSE? see:
I will look at the URL you suggested, but note that I'm not using openSUSE, but an earlier version that seems to work.
There were several url's. So look for information pertaining to the version of SuSE that you *are* using.....
seems like there is a lot of information available. Google *is* your best friend!

seems you would have removed the sig ???
The instructions I downloaded came from Brother, and are specific to SuSE, ver. 9.0 or later --I have 9.3-- and include other Linux versions, but I obviously used the SuSE instructions. These do NOT include YAST, altho YAST shows what is installed, etc. I don't know if YAST should highlight any problems, but it did not do so.
did you try removing the printer installed as you indicated you wanted.
The instructions expect a CUPS system, which I believe I have.
you don't know? from cl: rpm -qa cups
The installation is run from the console. After that, you need to use the browser (Firefox, in my case) and go to http:// localhost:631 and follow some other simple instructions, which I believe I did.
That is the interface to the cups server. There is provisions there to remove/install/configure printers. Do the removal there
Unfortunately, the troubleshooter at Brother says the server cannot be reached, so I can't look for their assistance. Maybe on Monday they will fix the server?
Brother's server?
If anyone out there has successfully managed to get 2.0.1-1 working with a 2040 printer, I would like to know how you did it. Meanwhile, of course, I will keep trying the troubleshooter server, to see if they fixed it.
You are not interested enough to google for a solution? There are many people professing successful installation and use of Brother printers in linux. btw, their servers are up. google *is* your best friend. - -- Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA HOG # US1244711 http://wahoo.no-ip.org Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery2 Registered Linux User #207535 @ http://counter.li.org -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.2 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFHi2RaClSjbQz1U5oRArBxAKCFi/McA0Vq0ElJG0W5IwKD92xz2ACfZYJE kq9upyCZUDMKWXHKW3H3o6A= =9K1e -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
