Hi I have managed to extract the files I think are needed for a brother printer as the printer system is saying there is no driver and or failed to execute a filter. (depends on which program displays the error)
so i extracted the following from the .deb and copied to where the installer had intended to put them as in /usr/local/Brother/Printer/mfcj615w/lpd -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 663956 2011-10-04 10:40 brmfcj615wfilter -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 2050 2011-10-04 10:40 filtermfcj615w -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 2221 2011-10-04 10:40 psconvertij2 As it says that it failed to execute a filter do the above permissions look right, they do have the execute flag set, perhaps there is some other problem i have over looked, should the files be owned by another user. I still need to fix synaptic as until that is fixed i have no way of installing anything else.
