Comment 126 for bug 25966

brettalton : Thanks for the time you take to test this. Actually in your last message I only see brother-lpr-drivers-* package, no brother-cups-wrapper-*. Both should be installed, if you confirm that brother-cups-wrapper-* are also installed with the brother-lpr-drivers-* packages, yes there is really something wrong but I still suspect that the problem is just that you installed correct lpr-drivers package but did not install cups-wrapper packages yet which are also needed. Anyway, your testing is also very appreciated, thanks for taking time to look at this.

ubuntu4fun : Yes exactly, that's what we intend to do, however, LPR drivers packages still breaks packaging rules, the packages in http://upload.leservicetechnique.com/brother are the best packages we can actually do to avoid these problems and since these packages contains pretty tricky hacks to use /usr instead of /usr/local, that's why we need people to test before we include them in repositories. cupswrapper* packages are in fact transitional packages that will remove the one from Brother by our ones since they provide exactly the same files and that we must avoid all potential conflicts. Concerning Restricted Driver Manager, I think that it will not happen until we get sufficient people that tested the packages and confirmed that it works with their printers, that's why I need people to give a lot of feedback.
