Really struggling with this one guys, don't know why Linux has to be so hard to install printers too. I went to the Brother site and started with the 'Driver Install Tool' and when that didn't work I installed all kinds of stuff in Synaptic Package Manager related to Brother, conservatively of course. I then decided to install the Printer Driver: LPR printer driver (deb package) and CUPSwrapper printer driver (deb package): I don't even know if these two are supposed to be installed together, but there are little to no directions on the brother site. Download the latest drivers, utilities and firmware. Supported OS. Check which operating systems are supported by your product. Please uninstall all drivers and software in Windows 7 or Windows 8.1 before upgrading to Windows 10. Tried all kinds of other stuff in 'Add Printers' I leave this output below. I've noticed that the Printer don't really show up on list's of Supported ones, but at the same time there are drivers for it on their site, makes no sense of course.

Thanks; sorry you have moved on; for any Mint members reading this; this J480DW is listed as being airprint-compatible (AC); that AC feature came with Ubuntu 17.04 so only joined Mint with this Mint 19 release; so the theory was: AC would mean Mint would auto-configure. So no need; (one understood:) to download any drivers; I can only assume that in this case there is only one icon in the PRINTERS folder; and that it is for the Brother drivers (lpr and cupswrapper) downloaded and installed. ![]() That somehow the AC didn't auto-configure. An AC setup shows something saying 'driverless' as I understand it. There have been one or two printer problems with Mint 19. Here is the two.deb files that were unpacked and installed. The weird thing is, now, the first one won't install if I click on it? The second one will install every time I click on it. But, it shows as being installed, so it don't make any sense to me. Mfcj880dwcupswrapper-1.0.0-0.i386.deb mfcj880dwlpr-1.0.0-0.i386.de After trying many things to make it work I installed these also. Mfcj480dwcupswrapper-1.0.0-0.i386.deb: I assume this one is the same exact file as the one above. Mfcj480dwlpr-1.0.0-0.i386.deb: I also assume this one is the same but is labeled as the 480 instead of the 880? Adobe command line print pdf. What's going on here guys, this is a super common printer by a very big printer company. Am I missing a Folder somewhere or something? Format memory card for both mac and windows. I went through a bunch of commands to make sure all the proper folders were present and they all were as far as I could tell. I see the issues but don't know how to fix them.
