Hello Shannon, This is because your printer is not known in the foomatic database on http://openprinting.org/printer_list.cgi An entry for the MFC-8300 is already in the foomatic database: http://openprinting.org/show_printer.cgi?recnum=Brother-MFC-8300 The recommended driver for the MFC-8300 seems to be hl7x0 which performs best for text and line art.
Please test the drivers listed on the MFC-8300 page and submit a new entry for your printer MFC-8600 here: http://openprinting.org/edit_printer.cgi?newentry=1 to get it into the foomatic database. Since Ubuntu uses the foomatic database this will automatically be included in future releases of Ubuntu as soon as the information is in the foomatic database. ** Also affects: foomatic-db (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Changed in: foomatic-db (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Wishlist Assignee: (unassigned) => Shannon VanWagner (shannon-vanwagner) Status: New => Triaged -- Wrong default driver for Brother MFC-8600 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/273975 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
