Hello SuSE people,
Hope you can help with the final conversion. After many crashes, worms, virii, etc. in Windows I finally convinced my son to allow me to install SuSE 9.2 on his machine. All went well and he is learning the Linux way. Except !! that he cannot print!
Unfortunately, during the Windoz period, he purchased one of those all-in-one Brother printer/scanner/copier things. I think the model is MFC 4230C or 3240C or something close. I don't think it it is supported. Yast does see it though.
Just hoping someone on this list has run across this and successfully installed this beast in SuSE. I need to keep my son converted!! Any help appreciated.

Two places to check for a driver is (a) http://linuxprinting.org. (b) the manufacturer for a PPD file (c) check the driver DVD for a PPD file I always check linuxprinting.org first so I don't waste my time and also let the manufacturer know why I didn't buy their product if it is not supported. Doesn't help in your case but tell them anyway. Good luck. -- Ken Schneider UNIX since 1989, linux since 1994, SuSE since 1998
