they were already installed and should not have become uninstalled.

the real problem is that there are no more directions.

there used to be instructions (awful, terrible instructions) but they are no longer on the site.

i'm going to give it another try.

so here is the summary :

iceweasel: sees printer, can print
claws-mail : sees printer, can print
evince: sees printer, cannot print
libreoffice writer: does not see printer

the evince problem is related to printing an pdf/ps, i'm thinking that is something wrong with the way i have the brother drivers installed.

however the libreoffice problem seems like a bug.  it can't see the printer at all.
