After most of two weeks struggling with this, I finally got the subject<br>
printer set up and working as a wireless printer on my network.<br>
<br>
However ... I still do not understand how to get it to work with other<br>
computers and devices on my network.<br>
<br>
On one of my Linux laptops, when I go to System Settings >> Printers >><br>
Add Printer >> under "Discovered Network Printers" I see two entries:<br>
<br>
Brother Laser Printer @ leno (Brother Brother DCP-1200<br>
and<br>
Brother HL-2270DW series (Brother HL-2270DW series)<br>
<br>
I don't know how the first one (DCP-1200) got there, but I assume that I<br>
need to remove it because it is not a valid printer on my system. So what<br>
is the procedure to remove an invalid printer?<br>
<br>
The second item, HL-2270DW, is valid; but the following two screen shots<br>
show what I see when I click on that second item:<br>
<br>
- - <a href="http://www.upquick.com/temp/print2add.jpg" target="_blank">http://www.upquick.com/temp/print2add.jpg</a> ... I can enter<br>
the IP address, but what should I enter in the "Queue" field?<br>
<br>
- - <a href="http://www.upquick.com/temp/print3add.jpg" target="_blank">http://www.upquick.com/temp/print3add.jpg</a> ... and, none of<br>
the drivers listed seem to match my printer model.<br>
-- OR, should I just select one of the several CUPS+Gutenprint v5.2.9<br>
drivers?<br>
-- Or what is a PPD File? and where would I find an appropriate PPD file<br>
to enter in that field?<br>
<br>
Surely this should not have to be this convoluted and confusing ...<br>
