Brother HL-L2360DW printer installation












1















I got exposed to Ubuntu Linux at the local public library and liked using it very much so I had it installed on my new Model 19-3013w HP all-in-one PC.



Problem is, I am basically computer illiterate so am beginning to think that maybe I made a big mistake in doing so, but I hate Windows so I'm willing to give Ubuntu Linux a try.



I need help installing my brother Model HL-L2360DW printer using a USB cable.



I need some very easy to understand step-by-step instructions, can you help?



What is a good Ubuntu 14.10 Linux book for absolute beginners?

            I just ran the driver install tool from the Brother support site and it installed everything and worked perfectly over wifi:




            1. Go to support.brother.com > Product Search > HL-L2360DW > Search > Downloads > OS: Linux > Version: Linux (deb) > Search > Driver Install Tool

              (Here's the direct link I used: http://support.brother.com/g/b/downloadend.aspx?c=ca&lang=en&prod=hll2360dw_us&os=128&dlid=dlf006893_000&flang=4&type3=625)

            2. Click Agree to the EULA and Download


            3. Follow the instructions on the page that loads. For me this was:





              1. Extract the install tool



                gunzip linux-brprinter-installer-2.1.1-1.gz



              2. Run the install tool



                sudo bash linux-brprinter-installer-2.1.1-1

                Input model name ->HL-L2360DW

                You are going to install following packages.
                hll2360dlpr-3.2.0-1.i386.deb
                hll2360dcupswrapper-3.2.0-1.i386.deb
                OK? [y/N] ->y

                Brother License Agreement
                Do you agree? [Y/n] ->y

                GPL License Agreement
                Do you agree? [Y/n] ->y

                Will you specify the Device URI? [Y/n] ->y

                ...
                14 (A): Auto. (dnssd://Brother%20HL-L2360D%20series._ipp._tcp.local/?uuid=28935df0-90c8-4892-b19e-95dfbaab1557)
                select the number of destination Device URI. ->a

                lpadmin -p HLL2360D -v dnssd://Brother%20HL-L2360D%20series._ipp._tcp.local/?uuid=28935df0-90c8-4892-b19e-95dfbaab1557 -E
                Test Print? [y/N] ->y

                wait 5s.
                lpr -P HLL2360D /usr/share/cups/data/testprint
                Hit Enter/Return key.





            At the end of the installation it printed a test page and it worked perfectly!

              I also havE an HL-L2360DW
              Your installer solution worked like a charm
              The Brother website driverinstaller now has a new filename (2.2.1-1 instead of 2.1.1-1) which I substituted
              and then your sequence of steps worked flawlessly.
              THANK YOU.
