Oops, sorry… didn’t notice that you had replied!
I found that extracting the Brother installer seemed to work better using the terminal than Engrampa (?) for some reason. But after I extracted through terminal I found it better to follow the information and commands on the Brother website than follow the commands from a webpage I found online.
I think I will start by deleting all the printers manually first and any downloads in the download folder just to make sure it’s clear and then start the process and then put the results online for you to check out sometime later. It’s probably early am where you are lol and I will most likely be going out to my agility trial before you get up again. O maybe I’ll just do it in the one post seeing I don’t trust the Forum not to kick me off for overuse lol.
Hmmm. It won’t let me delete one of the printers… I guess it’s the USB connected one so maybe I’ll leave that in place lol.
Have run into problems (surprise surprise lol). Didn’t know how to find the ip address of the printer for starters. But, there were heaps of other issues along the road as well. I’ll copy/paste all the relevant stuff below for you:

I’ll need to go back and check and get rid of any http stuff if it’s there (clearly I also had to get rid of www stuff as well!) and then I can send this. But, as you can see there is a LOT of stuff that simply did not work lol.
Cheers
M.
Will check any further responses in the morning.
