In this earlier post I wrote down how I installed my Brother DCP-357c in Ubuntu 10.04
After upgrading to 10.10 the top edge of every page was cut off.
I ran into a post on loxdev.knc.nc where a the same problem was explained.
- Remove the brother-lpr-driver-extra & brother-cups-wrapper-extra from Synaptic Package Manager
- Download the drivers from the Brother site
- Then issue the following command
- Download the brscan2 from the Brother site and then
- Then give the scanner the proper permissions
- Add this to the end of the hardware list of the file
- And finally restart udev:
# sudo mkdir -p /usr/share/cups/model # sudo mkdir -p /var/spool/lpd/dcp353c # sudo dpkg -i --force-all dcp353c*
# sudo dpkg -i brscan*
# gksudo gedit /lib/udev/rules.d/40-libsane.rules
#Brother DCP-357C ATTRS{idVendor}==”04f9″, ATTRS{idProduct}==”01e4″, ENV{libsane_matched}=”yes”
# sudo service udev restart
