Running Mandriva 2006 i586
Just got a Printer, Brother DCP-115C and cannot get it to print.
Scanner is working.
Have tried drivers from Brother (brscan2-0.0.2-1.i386.rpm, MFC-210C
brmfc-src-10.0.-1.i386.tar.gz) to no avail.
Has anyone had any success with this printer?
Please advise
TIA
Albert

From the Brother Website:

http://solutions.brother.com/linux/sol/printer/linux/cups_drivers.html

* Please be sure to install the LPR driver before installing the CUPS wrapper driver.

* Note to users of: DCP-115C, DCP-120C, DCP-315CN, , MFC-215C, MFC-425CN:
We are in the process of developing CUPS wrapper drivers for these models.
We recommend using the MFC-210C driver in the meantime.

* Note to users of product with "*" mark:
In some distributions, LPD needs to be installed before installing
the CUPS wrapper driver. If you have a problem installing the driver,
create a temporary symbolic link to link the file "/etc/init.d/cups" or
"/etc/init.d/cupsys" to "/etc/init.d/lpd".

ln -s /etc/init.d/cups /etc/init.d/lpd
ln -s /etc/init.d/cupsys /etc/init.d/lpd

After the installation, remove the symbolic link.

Unless you can get the MFC210 driver to work, you may be temporarily out
of luck until they develop the cups driver for the DCP-115.
