Really need help with my Brother hl-2240 printer question

Not being able to print anything is quite an impediment.

With my memory problems, writing or printing things is pretty important.

If I am irritating folks with my questions, please let me know with details.

Thanks

Andy what exactly is your problem with your Brother printer?

I have a Brother MFC-J480DW printer and other than Parrot security (which is all sandboxed) I have never had a problem installing it.

Go to the Brother help center. Find your printer and download the correct driver package to Downloads.

Extract the drivers. I am not good with the terminal so use engrampa to do that.

Then in the terminal < cd Downloads >

Enter your model number. here is mine: model no. MFC-J480DW

It should then start to install, then it will ask you:
Will you specify the Device URI? [Y/n] -> answer n

Test Print? [y/N] -> answer y

Then you should be able to go to printers and set it as your default printer
