I have a brother mfcj6510dw multifunction printer which I am trying to get working with ubuntu 14.04. I would like to know wether anyone else has, or has had the same problem and if they Managed to get theirs working. I have found the Instructions on the brother site to not work. and the Terminal program instructs me to use apt instead.

After further investigation have found that printer seems to be recognised as a large storage drive. now off to try the solutions suggested by...-Mrinmoy dey and Takkat. – James Cooper Mar 28 '16 at 10:03

since posting this question I have managed to set up the printer using a USB connection, and also set-up a network printer using wi-fi. Anyone else having a problem setting up a brother printer should visit the following site:- (https://sites.google.com/site/easylinuxtipsproject/15) – James Cooper Apr 02 '16 at 08:02
