drivers Brother FX2820

Asked by Chris Tree

I was wondering how to install, or even where to find drivers for a Brother Fax 2820. I've tried connecting it to my Asus Eee PC 701D running Ubuntu Netbook Remix 9.10, when no drivers were found on the system I was asked if I wanted to search the internet for them but I came up with nothing. I have a limited understanding how to work with a terminal, can someone out there help me? Has anyone written drivers for this machine?

Install this:
http://solutions.brother.com/Library/sol/printer/linux/rpmfiles/lpr_debian/brfax2820lpr-2.0.1-1.i386.deb

Then this:
http://solutions.brother.com/Library/sol/printer/linux/rpmfiles/cups_wrapper/cupswrapperFAX2820-2.0.1-2.i386.deb

Should be fine

Thank you very much, it took me several attempts, which reflects my ability, not your advice, I'm pleased to say I now have the printer working.
