OK. I'll try that. It seems strange to link an non-running and

game. I'll let you know what happens.
I think it stops the rpm from running the post install script. The
problem I had was selecting the correct URI for the networked
printer. I finally got http://printer/ipp/port1 to work and not
split out a billion blank pages.
It seems to have worked--anyway I've had a test page print out OK. We'll
see what happens when I reboot (I had it printing once before--don't
know how--and rebooting screwed things up). Apparently the instruction
on page
http://solutions.brother.com/linux/sol/printer/linux/lpr_drivers.html
"To use this driver, you must ensure that the LPR printing system is
installed and running on your Linux distribution."
Actually they have an FAQ that states you needed to link. Or at
least I found it somewhere on their site. I thought it was
weird also. What does lpd have to do with cups? Go figure ...
