http://www.openprinting.org/printer/Brother/Brother-MFC-235C works mostly
Did you download a Windows or an Ubuntu driver ?
Could you provide link from where you downloaded ?

I think this is the link where I download it from, but also like I said, I have the original disk from brother

thanks Delance for your response, but like I said it was for windows because there was no ubantu version. But I also told you that I have the original CD from the printer, I mean the driver, so can you help me with that? I also tried to downloaded from ubantu system, but the model of my printer was not available...so what do I do?
thanks Delance
