Maybole Posted May 17, 2021 Share Posted May 17, 2021 Linux Mint 20 Cinnamon, Brother DCP-T300 printer/scanner. I have got the printer working without much trouble using drivers downloaded from Brother website and instructions from Easy Linux tips project.. I have tried without success many times to make the scanner work using instructions from both the Brother website and the Easy Linux tips project . Each attempt ends after about 4 commands in "invalid command" or "command not recognised". Has any expert any advice to offer? I do not want to lug the equipment into Chiangmai to find a Linux specialist Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybole Posted May 19, 2021 Author Share Posted May 19, 2021 The scanner is now working. I made one last attempt intending to record exactly what commands I was using and their effect. I had originally got the printer to work using the Easy Linux Tips site in preference to Brother's own site (which did not work). I started using Brother's own installation guide and to my surprise, it worked. Alles in ordnung ist ! The topic is now redundant.Thanks to all who tried to help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
