Description: This product is printer scanner combination. It provides a one touch copying system as well as a printer and a scanner for you Linux System. You can also plug in the memory chips from most brands of digital cameras and print them out. It provides 4 separate ink modules. You will need to go tt the Brother website for the instructions on how to install the printer and the scanner. At present this is "solutions.brother.com/linux/en_us/index.html".
Step 3 of scanner install you might need to use usbfs instead of usbdevfs. Otherwise all went very smoothly.

The Brother proprietary drivers and install scripts are not available as *.tgz Slack packages.
For installation under Slack using CUPS try this:

1. Download the DCP110Clpr-1.0.2-1.i386.rpm, cupswrapperDCP110C-1.0.0-1.i386.rpm and brscan2-0.0.1-0.i386.rpm packages from the Brother Industries homepage into a temporary directory.

2. Become root and convert to Slack packages using rpm2tgz.

3. Install the packages using pkgtool.

4. Change directory to /usr/local/Brother/cupswrapper and rerun the install script in a C shell with the -i option.
i.e. sh cupswrapperDCP110C-1.0.0 -i

5. Change directory to /usr/local/Brother/sane and rerun the install script in a C shell with the -i option.
i.e. sh setupSaneScan2 -i

6. Reboot the PC. The hotplug script will automatically mount the usbfs file system when it detects the new USB devices.

7. Make a new group scanner and add users to this group that need access to the scanner.
