This problem was solved in question 200800. Thank you for your help

Thank you for all your help. I did not find the option to show this
problem solved. I opened a new Question #201660 because I cannot connect
to the printer. Even though Ubuntu shows the printer and the jobs in the
cue it does not print them. When I tried following step 5a on the
Brother site, I was never given the option to choose the brother
printer. It only showed 2 HP and one other brand printer,

Thanks again,

Tom
