Could you please help me with installation of printer Brother HL-1110e for Kubuntu 14.04? I haven't found any official driver. Someone did package for Arch Linux, I converted them with alien to .deb, but nothing happened.

  • It would be useful to include which one of three options is a proper driver (website is not explaining well differences between available downloads) – reducing activity Oct 12 '17 at 10:15

For me instructions from https://help.ubuntu.com/stable/ubuntu-help/printing-setup.html added printer but it refused to work properly (printer failed to leave any toner on pages) - maybe it was caused by missing option for HL 1110 drivers and recognizing printer as HL 1070.

Going to http://support.brother.com/g/b/downloadtop.aspx?c=eu_ot&lang=en&prod=hl1110_us_eu_as selecting download, selecting deb version, downloading "Driver Install Tool", lying that I read and agree to EULA and following:

  • Step 1: Download the tool.(linux-brprinter-installer-..-.gz)

    The tool will be downloaded into the default "Download" directory. (The directory location varies depending on your Linux distribution.) e.g. /home/(LoginName)/Download

  • Step 2: Open a terminal window.

  • Step 3: Go to the directory you downloaded the file to in the last step. By using the cd command.

    e.g. cd Downloads

  • Step 4: Enter this command to extract the downloaded file:

    Command: gunzip linux-brprinter-installer-*.*.*-*.gz

    e.g. gunzip linux-brprinter-installer-2.1.1-1.gz

  • Step 5: Get superuser authorization with the su command or sudo su command.

  • Step 6: Run the tool:

    Command: bash linux-brprinter-installer-*.*.*-* Brother machine name
    e.g. bash linux-brprinter-installer-2.1.1-1 MFC-J880DW

  • Step 7: The driver installation will start. Follow the installation screen directions.

    When you see the message "Will you specify the DeviceURI ?",

    For USB Users: Choose N(No) For Network Users: Choose Y(Yes) and DeviceURI number.

    The install process may take some time. Please wait until it is complete.

worked properly.
