Hola a todos. Me ha sido imposible instalar un controlador de la impresora Brother DCP-T230. Particularmente el del nombre linux-brprinter-installer-2.2.6-0. Cumplí con los requisitos que figuran en el manual pero en el proceso (desde la terminal) han aparecido problemas con el brscan y demas aorchivos no soportados. Tengo el Mate version 24.04.3 y he descargado Xubuntu, Linux Mint, Lubuntu y nada. La pc reconoce la impresora pero a cada tarea dada aparece la opción de “procesando” y asi hasta el final de los días.
¿A alguien más le sucedió esto?
He tenido que hacer un doble booteo con Windows10 para poder imprimir. Y no quiero volver a esa ventana…

Hi, @Yacare_White and welcome to the Ubuntu MATE Community!

Hello everyone. I've been unable to install a driver for my Brother DCP-T230 printer, specifically the one named linux-brprinter-installer-2.2.6-0. I followed the requirements listed in the manual, but during the process (from the terminal), I encountered problems with brscan and other unsupported files. I have Mate version 24.04.3 and have downloaded Xubuntu, Linux Mint, and Lubuntu, but nothing has worked. The PC recognizes the printer, but after each task, it shows "processing" and it just keeps doing that.
Has anyone else experienced this?
I had to do a dual boot with Windows 10 to be able to print. And I don't want to go back to that screen…

It would help if you provided what the system is reporting about your current printer setup.
For that, could you please share with us what is reported by
sudo lpstat -t
Also, you might want to look at the items listed using
sudo ls -l /etc/cups/ppd
to see if any of the entries show any similarity to your printer designation, or another model (similar to yours) which might be used to see if it would work for you.
In another discussion, performing the following help resolve an issue for freshly installed software. It wouldn't do any harm to try this, to see if it works ... and if it doesn't, it is easily reversible.
sudo mv /etc/cups/cupsd.conf /etc/cups/cupsd.conf-orig
sudo cp /usr/share/cups/cupsd.conf.default /etc/cups/cupsd.conf
sudo systemctl start cups
Again, as indicated in another discussion, if the above doesn't work, maybe working thru the process of using the following would work:
sudo system-config-printer
If you printer is network attached, you may want to review the following discussions:
I was unable to locate any specific reference to your printer on the following site:
Hopefully, one of the above will be able to help you resolve your issue. If not, you will need to provide us with a snapshot of you user-guide's cover page, to make sure we are working on the correct model associated with your printer.

It still won't print, not even the test page. I've restarted both the PC and the printer. I'm still trying

This says that the printer job is in the queue, pending, waiting for the system "go ahead" to transmit the print data to the printer. However ...
this line means that the printer is not ready.
Either the buttons on the front panel need to be "pressed" to place the printer into a ready state, or
- the printer mechanism is jammed,
- the paper tray is empty,
- the toner cartridge is empty or missing,
or something else along those lines which would prevent the printer from being ready!
