This document explains how to correctly configure Brother DCP-115C on Pardus.

Contents 1 Installing the package 2 Configuring the printer 3 Configuring the scanner 4 Uninstalling the drivers

Installing the package

Install the necessary packages by typing:

sudo pisi it http://cekirdek.pardus.org.tr/~ozan/dist/brother-mfc210c-1.0.2-1-1.pisi

This driver suite depends on tcsh. Answer 'yes' when PiSi asks whether to install it or not.

Configuring the printer

Register your printer in CUPS:

sudo /usr/sbin/lpadmin -p MFC210C -E -v usb://Brother/DCP-115C -P /usr/share/cups/model/brmfc210c_cups.ppd 

Set your printer as the system default:

sudo /usr/sbin/lpadmin -d MFC210C

Finally, restart the CUPS service again:

service cups restart

Configuring the scanner

The related sane backend is automatically installed and added to the sane backends list. The official installation guide[0] proposes to modify '/etc/fstab' for some weird workaround but Ulrich Hiller wrote in [1] that the scanner works perfectly without that workaround.

Uninstalling the drivers

First, remove the corresponding entry of your printer from CUPS:

sudo /usr/sbin/lpadmin -x MFC210C

Remove the installed packages using console:

sudo pisi rm brother-mfc210c
