I have a MFC-9440CN aand a HL-1440 brother printers both have show up as multiple printers due to the printers are able to talk in several protocols I usually test each and go with the one that works. I have in the past had to edit location to the ip address of the printer but I have not had to in a long time currently I use Device URL dnssd://Brother%20MFC-9440CN._pdl-datastream._tcp.local/ make and model Brother MFC-9440CN BR-Script3 On Wed, Jun 25, 2014 at 6:36 PM, wrote: > After much frustration and travail ... partially solved ... > > -------- > Recently (June 11, 2014), I submitted this question: > >> How to find or set printer IP address for wireless? > >> > >> I just got a Brother HL2270-DW laser printer and I cannot > >> figure out how to get it installed as a wireless printer > >> > >> After much searching on the 'net, I found this: > >> > http://welcome.solutions.brother.com/bsc/public_s/id/linux/en/faq_prn.html#f00104 > > > > [snipped] > ---------- > > After most of two weeks struggling with this, I finally got the subject > printer set up and working as a wireless printer on my network. > > However ...
