Wow, when I go into CUPS, I do not even see brother
listed. (localhost:631) on a gentoo system.
this link:
http://www.openprinting.org/printers
did list many brother printers,but not the
one I'm interested in :
Brother MFC-J6710DW Inkjet
What did you do to your cups to get it to show (flags?)
brother printers as an option to install a brother printer?
Here are my flags:
Installed versions: 1.5.2-r4^t(00:11:27 09/13/12)(X acl dbus filters gnutls
java jpeg ldap pam perl png python slp ssl threads tiff usb -avahi <snip>
Maybe the debian system has other additional software installed
besides cups?
