I have a Brother MFC-420CN connected with USB. I have downloaded the following drivers from Brother.

I am following the gentoo wiki : http://gentoo-wiki.com/Brother_MFC_420CN/Cups.
They say to do this:
| Code: | Here we simply link the filter where Gentoo expects it to be.
ln -s /usr/lib/cups/filter/brlpdwrapperMFC420CN /usr/libexec/cups/filter/brlpdwrapperMFC420CN |
but as you see above I do not have this brlpdwrapperMFC420CN file.
Maybe I do, but it may be called something else. Any ideas? |
