I use the MFC j615w. Also via wifi, how did ya go about installing it ?
In detail please, there is a process in doing so or it goes VERY bad fast.
Processes is posted on there site.
processes
Install sane-utils
Install psutils
"sudo aa-complain cupsd" command is required before the installation.
2. "sudo mkdir /usr/share/cups/model" command (as it is) is required before the installation.
For Debian based distributions earlier than Ubuntu8.10, Debian5:
"sudo ln -s /etc/init.d/cupsys /etc/init.d/lpd"
"sudo mkdir /var/spool/lpd" command is required if the folder does not exist.
1. Open "sudo gedit /lib/udev/rules.d/40-libsane.rules" file.
2.Add the following two lines to the end of the device list. (Before the line "# The following rule will disable ..."):
The lines to be added---------------------------
# Brother scanners
ATTRS{idVendor}=="04f9", ENV{libsane_matched}="yes"
3. Restart the OS.
Files MUST be installed in this order, Just the names of the files would be matching your modle but the command remands the same.
FYI I have sold and installed about 20 + brother printers for linux.
Use these commands for x64 or just install via gdeb package installer for x32.
The order MUST be done just like this.
sudo dpkg --force-architecture -i mfcj615wlpr-1.1.1-1.i386.deb
sudo dpkg --force-architecture -i mfcj615wcupswrapper-1.1.1-1.i386.deb
sudo dpkg --force-architecture -i brscan-skey-0.2.1-3.i386.deb
sudo dpkg --force-architecture -i brscan3-0.2.11-3.i386.deb
