Brother printer


I installed a Brother HL-2140 printer on Zorin OS 15. After installation the test page in terminal mode printed. Writer and PDF docs will not print. The Settings menu indicates that the HL-2140 is installed, but Brother's uninstall instructions say that it cannot be removed. Any advice??

Have you taken a look at the printer in CUPS and checked its status and tried to print a test page? http://localhost:631
