Thread: brother 8840d

-

i have brother 8840d printer/scanner, old still great. unfortunately can't use anymore newest ubuntu (12.04). installed drivers following instructions found in brother site, cannot print.
if can grateful!


p.s. why each time new ubuntu gets out piece of hardware stops working? happened printer, laserjet 1200 before it, logitech usb webcam doesn't work anymore skype, etc. if ubuntu/linux has weak point, it's hardware support. what's use of gorgeous desktop if have spend thousand euro upgrade hardware? , 1 of advantage of linux support old hardware!? not surprised many people stick windows, find terrible.

p.p.s printer works parallel conncetion, scanner doesn't. downloading debian . thinking trying mint.

brother provide installer script

......it should save 1 following instructions ..

want delete existing driver , install try?

ubuntu provide debugging wiki

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/debuggingprintingproblems

..... bit tedious might
