I have bought a new Brother printer (MFC-465nc). In trying to install it through YaST, I find that this model number is not in the list of recognized printers.
Look up your printer here:

The site is not as useful as it might be. In the top window, it shows only five (5) printers for Brother; if you ask for all Brother printers, you get a very long list, of which some of the printers marked "Paperweight" do have drivers on the Brother Linux website. My printer isn't mentioned at all, although it too has drivers on the Brother site. To answer Rodney's question, I do not see anything on the B site to associate the RPM files with either Red Hat or SuSE; there is a separate set of drivers marked "Debian", but that's it for distros. The easiest thing to do is to install the RPMs and hope that they work.
