LPR printer driver installation under debian Squeeze
Am trying to get a Brother HL-2240 printer working with a new debian
Squeeze installation. The Brother website has a linux LPR driver in
.deb format that installed and worked easily under Lenny using the gnome
Printer install menu. Under Squeeze, the gnome Printer install menu
seems to be looking for a PPD file, but Brother does not have a PPD
format driver for the HL-2240. Also tried using aptitude to install it
but cannot get aptitude to look in a local directory for a .deb file.
(Am not sure if using aptitude will work anyway since the file is driver
is LPR and not PPD.) Anyone know how to get a LPR driver that works
under Lenny to work under Squeeze?
