Brother MFC-J825DW network printer not detected on ubuntu 13.10

rated 0 times [ 0] [ 0] / answers: 1 / hits: 545 / 2 Years ago, fri, december 24, 2021, 3:41:23

I have spent 4 days of over 20 hours trying to get my printer to recognize in 13.10. I have installed and un-installed both Ubuntu 13.10 and the printer numerous times. I have spent hours researching this. This is my last hope!

I can get the printer to install as a usb printer, but it is a network printer. The printer works fine on my windows 7 systems, but I want to use it with Ubuntu 13.10.

I have contacted Brother and was told that since Linux is so vast, they don't do much support (typical caned answer to get rid of someone). I have seen nothing pertaining to my particular problem.

Someone please HELP!
Thanks

As mentioned (initially) as a comment; make sure you installed the latest drivers (also the cups wrapper) from this page. After you installed the Cups wrapper, you still have to set the parameters: open in your webbrowser:

http://localhost:631/printers

You will be asked for you (computer's) password. Click Adimistration > Add Printer and set following parameters.

for Device:

- "LPD/LPR Host or Printer" or "AppSocket/HP JetDirect"

for Device URI

- lpd://(Your printer's IP address)/binary_p1

for Make/Manufacturer Selection

- Brother

for Model/Driver Selection

- Your printer's name

On the website of Brother, Here is the a section about network connection:
