Thank you very much for your input, Pete. Leaving to Chris to consider it further.
The issue with the automatically assigned device URI reminds me of bug #1320381 which I filed a couple of years ago. That was also a Brother printer, but connected via an USB port. Can't help wondering if Brother printers are harder to install on Ubuntu than other printers. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1630272 Title: The "Official Documentation" for Ubuntu 16.04 does not include correct instructions on installing Printers.
