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.
But the Brother Linux site has a set of drivers for the print, fax, and scanner functions; all these are downloadable in the form of RPMs. There is no indication of whether these files are Red-Hat RPMs or SuSE RPMs, or whether they are suitable for both distributions (agnostic? ambidextrous?)
Can I install these drivers in my openSuSE v10.3 system? -- Stan Goodman Qiryat Tiv'on Israel
Stan, I had the Brother drivers for my mfc-665cw installed on 10.3 with no probs. I haven't tested it since I upgraded to 11.0 so I don't actually know if it still works (in fact, had you not mentioned it I may not even have thought of it until I tried to use it).
