Title: brother printer mfc j995dw
Post by: rlowen50 on April 03, 2024, 05:12:53 PM

I just changed to Linux Lite from Mint. I had no problems with Mint recognizing or printing with the above printer. In Lite the only way I can print anything is to the access the printer via the usb port. Any tips would sure be appreciated.
I am a fairly new linux user.
Thanks

Without having the exact hardware, it is difficult to confirm what steps to follow.

Is the Printer/Scanner fully recognised and fully functional when connected via USB ?
If you try to set up the printer to use over the network can you describe the action taken and the results please ?
