sulobaidsuevin,

You do realise that most of the distributions you have listed are out of date?

I suggest that you backup your personal data and then do a fresh installation of one or more current releases.

Then retry installing the Brother driver.

Being aware of the specific sys age i use it knowingly as a personal preference for now until i can find other options for other systems which may come later. Good day.
