I seem to remember there was another package of printer drivers to install, Unfortunately I don't remember the name of the package, but it din't seem to be printer-specific. Before I installed the package, cups didn't give me any Brother printers to choose from. After, it did. I have a brother HL-1870N. I used a driver for an HL-1670N because it was available at the time. My guess is that a Brother driver for an older printer will do for you, too. > > Thanks for the help. > > /KS > > > -- > To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] > with a subject of "unsubscribe".
