Using a Brother MFC 7440N, a networked printer using a Belkin router.
The computers interfaced are a Lenovo desk top running Ubuntu 9 04/or Vista Home Basic (separate plug-in drives) and a Dell Laptop running Vista Home Prem or some such.
I have not yet tried to install to my new box, an ASUS M3N72-D MB etc still trying to sort out other issues with Ubuntu 10 04.
I had expert advise setting this printer up, but now I don't know if the "cups wrapper" I'm using will work with the 64 bit Linux, nor whether I should install the wrapper first, or the scanner and printer drivers first.
Any advice on the above?
