Help! I need my printer (Brother 1440). I've already spent two days
trying to get it up. I've learned a good bit about how printing works on
Linux, but haven't had success. (This printer always ran automatically
with my old Mandrake 10.1 install.)
I've just installed Core 4 on a Sony PCG-SRX77. (I also installed
(server installation) on a Dell OptiPlex, but I haven't tried to get the
printer going there yet.)
Brother has two drivers, one for lpd and one as a
"cupswrapper" (whatever that is). The lpd rpm needs to be installed
before the cupswrapper rpm. When I tried to install the lpd rpm I got
this error message:
/var/tmp/rpm-tmp.48389: line 2: /etc/init.d/lpd: No such file or
directory
error: %post(hl1440lpr-1.1.2-1.i386) scriptlet failed, exit status

Before installing the lpd driver you need to link lpd to cups in
/etc/init.d. Then install the lpd driver. Then install the
cups driver.
