Unhappy Brother printer

I am running SuSE 7.3 and I'm having problems getting my printer working. I have the mfc 7150 6 in 1. It will print, but the font is messed up and you can hardly read it. It does not print in color either. I have it set up with the driver for the printer that came with 7.3. Any ideas?

Try using the laser hl-720 driver for printing only. You need the MFC software if you using the scanner.

No, that didn't do it either. Just printed non-stop code. I can't find any driver included on my software to make it work. All I need is printing, I don't care about scanning.

Sorry, I wasn't thinking straight. I use the windows drivers and print from windows to a raw unix queue. You'll have to get linux drivers I assume. I'd contact brother or check their website.

Good luck.

Here is a link that might help. It has been suggested to me as well.

Why are you re-opening a 5-year old thread?? OP has not posted anything since 2002.
