I ended up buying a Canon MX495.<br /><br />It is successfully connected to my BT home hub with Wifi, and it is also<br />connected to my computer with USB cable. I have successfully added it as<br />a network printer and it is showing connected. It is not recognising the<br />USB connection. So far the only page I have printed out is the settings<br />page from the printer itself.<br /><br />I have been going through websites trying to find suggestions to help me<br />get it working but nothing has yet fixed the problem.<br /><br />Any ideas?<br /><br />Godfrey<br /><br /><br />On Sat, 2016-06-04 at 22:35 +0100, Neal Ponton via Nottingham wrote:<blockquote>I had a cheap Brother laser not so long ago.

The<br />printer and unused cartridges went the way of Beeston recycling centre<br />when I moved. <br /><br /><br />I think the CUPS driver I used was a generic workaround, but it did<br />work for a few prints (Bitcoin paper wallets) before mechanical<br />failure. <br /><br /><br />This has ended up more a warning against stupidly cheap lasers. :) <br /><br /><br />Neal. <br /><br /><br />4.

The DCP range of printers are a pain<br /> in the arse - even though Brother<br /> provide wireless drivers for Linux - LUbuntu -<br /> hmmm.......... your Brother will not connect<br /> to your router.<br /> <br /> HP are ok Brother not ok<br /> <br /> David<br /> <br /> <br /> --<br /> “See the sanity of the man!
