Did you keep a backup of the old working config files on that system? For me it's these files; I just append a date to the end of the file: /etc/cups/ cupsd.conf.15mar2015 cups-files.conf.3apr2015 printers.conf.15mar2015 snmp.conf.15mar2015 That way it's fairly trivial to re-construct working cups files after an upgrade has gone errant..... Do you have backups of the /etc/cups/ dir? If it worked on the acer it should work everywhere. Often I just copy /etc/cups/* files from one systems to the next, rather than deal with that ever_changing cups interface. Also, brother printers, like most, work better in a linux/unix centric network when they are ethernet connected. If you have your printers plugged into ethernet, then you can connect to them (via ethernet) by just typing in the ip address of the printer into your web browser. That makes checking the embedded printer configuration much simpler. hth, James
