Question how to install brother HL -1430 printer to Zorin 12.4


I have contacted Brother Help to find an answer, and whether I needed to download from them a specific driver for this printer/OS. Although they can provide drivers for other Linux OS, they couldn't help with Zorin.
Any advice please.
Kind Regards,
Colin

Zorin is based on Ubuntu which is based on Debian.

If they offer a driver for Ubuntu, that would likely work on Zorin. Here's the listing from the Open Printing Database about that printer with information about recommended drivers: http://www.openprinting.org/printer/...rother-HL-1430

Good luck and let us know (in as much detail as possible) if you run into any problems.
