[olug] Brother HL-2240D

[Tom Williamson]

I got a Brother HL-2270DW a while ago, and found downloads at the 
Brother website that had files for cups to use for installing the 
drivers. After doing that the printer has worked fine except for the 
times that the router reassigns the IP address, and I have to find where 
it was moved.This has wired and wireless connections, and I use it as a 
wired connection, using the wireless router for the wireless connection.

These were two rpm files, one was labeled cupswrapper, the other had lpr 
in the name.

I hope this helps,

Tom
