A cursory google indicates that you can download the Brother drivers from http://solutions.brother.com/linux/en_us/ Further instructions.... http://solutions.brother.com/linux/en_us/instruction_prn1c.html Have you installed foomatic? I would do yum install foomatic, if you haven't already, and see if it's listed there. Also, I'm not quite clear from your description how you did this. If you used the Gnome interface and it was searching for printers, and the printer wasn't connected, it makes sense that it wasn't located. When you say the list in F11, was the printer connected at that time, or are you talking about the CUPS interface? I know you wrote that you're not a guru, which is fine--if any of this isn't clear, please post again. -- Scott Robbins PGP keyID EB3467D6 ( 1B48 077D 66F6 9DB0 FDC2 A409 FA54 EB34 67D6 ) gpg --keyserver pgp.mit.edu --recv-keys EB3467D6 Angel: Acathla turned to stone, as demons sometimes do, and was buried where neither man nor demon would want to look...unless, of course, they're putting up low-rent housing. -- fedora-test-list mailing list fedora-test-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-test-list
