' # Brother HL-2270DW printer install tested on arch and ubuntu 12.04 Under the device URI, click 'change' -> network printer -> select first brother option -> apply When the config GUI opens, right click on the printer and select 'properties'. Next, turn on the printer and run the following from the terminal: system-config-printer The terminal will ask you where your init.d directory is - just check the choices in your file browser to confirm one or the other. It may tell you that you need bsdtar to run the script, just install that with: sudo apt-get install bsdtar Then run the application from the terminal with: sudo.

just copy and paste the code sample below into an empty text document and save it as PrinterInstall.sh. as long as the printer is already on your network (i installed mine through my windows 7 partition), it should work. i found the attached script (following the instructions) in an ubuntu forum somewhere (I forget exactly where) which worked for me on both Ubuntu 12.04 and Mint Cinnamon 13 (64-bit versions). I know a ton of people have had major issues getting this printer to work with both ubuntu and mint, so i thought i'd pass this along since it's pretty painless.
