Darshan,

Google search shows this as a common problem for owners of the multi-function printer.

Hi Harvey,

Thanks a lot for your help. My ubuntu is version 7.04.04. I thought I will
try to use your procedure for modifying printer. This is what happened;
when I tried to execute the third command of your code I got an error
message saying no such file exists. I went ahead any way. The ppd file
needed in the last command could not be found. I did get a message that my
printer has been successfully modified . However it is not good enough to
make the printer work. Thanks for your prompt help though.

With greetings of the season.

Darshan

Darshan,

A minor correction, it's not my work. All I did was find it and point the way =)

If this was the command that failed:
    sudo apt-get install csh

then all you need to do is add the correct repositories. Open Software Sources
    (System > Administration > Software Sources)

then check everything on the first tab. Afterwards, try running through the entire sequence again.

Darshan,

Just checking to see if your question was resolved, or if you needed more information.

Regards,

Harvey

The problem was solved by using proper driver for Brother MFC 5440 CN
printer, Tha driver suitable for Ubuntu was amde available on the net
by the manufacturer. Thanks.

Darshan,

Glad your printer is working. To help others that may come looking for answers, you might include the link to the site with the driver and also mark your question as solved.

Best regards,

Harvey

Hi Darshan,

I am sorry for not being clear. I meant you should mark the question status Solved, not change the title to solved.

If you look at the top, the question still shows 'Answered' not 'Solved'.

Thanks,

Harvey
