Setting up the DCP-357c in Ubuntu 10.10

Posted on by

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.

  1. Remove the brother-lpr-driver-extra & brother-cups-wrapper-extra from Synaptic Package Manager
  2. Download the drivers from the Brother site
  3. Then issue the following command
    4. # sudo mkdir -p /usr/share/cups/model
# sudo mkdir -p /var/spool/lpd/dcp353c
# sudo dpkg -i --force-all dcp353c*
  4. Download the brscan2 from the Brother site and then
    5. # sudo dpkg -i brscan*
  5. Then give the scanner the proper permissions
    6. # gksudo gedit /lib/udev/rules.d/40-libsane.rules
  6. Add this to the end of the hardware list of the file
    7. #Brother DCP-357C
ATTRS{idVendor}==”04f9″, ATTRS{idProduct}==”01e4″, ENV{libsane_matched}=”yes”
  7. And finally restart udev:
# sudo service udev restart
