Installing A Brother MFC 7420 Laser Printer / Scanner in Ubuntu
Written by sean on May 9, 2008 – 11:30 am -
I finally got rid of the little Dell 720 printer I’ve been using. It did kind of a crappy job, was slow and the ink ran out fast and was expensive. So the other day I boght a big whopping multi function laser printer from Brother.
Brother actually supports Linux, so we can get the drivers which is nice.
The scanner setup was easy as well and I have included it at the bottom.
When you install your 7420, Hardy will detect it and set it up with the wrong printer drivers.
All you need to do for it to work correctly is got to Brother’s web site and download the Linux drivers.

Installing a Dell 720 Printer In Ubuntu Linux - Updated!
Written by sean on March 24, 2008 – 11:00 pm -
A while ago, I wrote up a piece on how to install a Dell 720 Printer in Ubuntu. Last weekend, after a reinstall of Linux, I found my printer didn’t work. “No problem”, I thought, “I’ll just follow my own tutorial”. To my absolute horror, when I tried to do it, it didn’t work. So I started sifting through the message boards, and found alot of old info that didn’t help. Finally, I was able to get everything squared away, so without further ado, here is the updated and correct Howto for installing a Dell 720 Photo Printer under Ubuntu 7.10.
