Install Brother MFC-7320 on Ubuntu

multifunction_printerThis helps you setup your Brother MFC 7320 laser printer & scanner on Ubuntu

Printer

 

For the printer, there is a very convenient package in the universe/multiverse repos :

sudo aptitude install  brother-cups-wrapper-laser

 

That's about it, you can now add the printer using the usual gui, or you can add the printer in the shell

sudo  lpadmin -p Brother-MFC-7320 -E -v usb://Brother/MFC-7320 -P /usr/share/ppd/Brother/MFC7220.ppd -o PageSize=A4

 

Scanner

 

!!! First POWER OFF your Brother MFC-7320 !!!

Run following script :

 #!/bin/bash

# patch udev rules
cat <<EOF>> /lib/udev/rules.d/40-libsane.rules
ATTRS{idVendor}=="04f9", ENV{libsane_matched}="yes"
EOF

# restart udev
sudo service udev restart

# download driver
wget http://pub.brother.com/pub/com/bsc/linux/dlf/brscan3-0.2.11-4.i386.deb -P /tmp

# install driver
sudo dpkg -i /tmp/brscan3-0.2.11-4.i386.deb

 

!!! Now you can POWER ON your Brother MFC-7320 again !!!
