Hi, I have a headless PC now with a Brother HLL2340DW printer attached via USB. I need to install the Brother drivers but the process needs Internet access. I do not want to have to drive 30-miles each way to the PC+printer and bring them back, install then take them back out.
I found this, Configure Brother HL-1212W wireless printer via Ubuntu and downloaded the files to a USB but it gets part way through and asks for a Proxy because of no Internet. It will not proceed beyond that. Thanks Brother printers!
I tried just using the Ubuntu Setup to install but nothing prints even though it thinks it is setup. It shows up in the 'File > Print' Menu lists but nothing prints.
Is there some way to install the Brother drivers with Internet access? There is no cell signal where the PC+printer is.
If not, can anyone suggest a low-ish-cost printer that will install without direct Internet connection? Last damn Brother I will buy.
Thanks

this page http://support.brother.com/g/b/downloadlist.aspx?c=nz&lang=en&prod=hll2340dw_us_eu_as&os=128 lists the appropriate drivers for your printer. This page on installing the lpr driver http://support.brother.com/g/b/downloadlist.aspx?c=nz&lang=en&prod=hll2340dw_us_eu_as&os=128 gives more details: so you only need the lpr driver it seems; 0.03MB file and if you also do the cups driver it is 0.02MB so if you install the drivers; then from the PRINTERS folder select ADD NEW it should search for and find this HLL2340DW
