I expect you're missing the foomatic-filters-ppds package: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ sudo apt-file search ppd | grep 1870 foomatic-filters-ppds: usr/share/ppd/Brother/Brother-HL-1870N- Postscript.ppd.gz foomatic-filters-ppds: usr/share/ppd/Brother/Brother-HL-1870N- hl1250.ppd.gz foomatic-filters-ppds: usr/share/ppd/Brother/Brother-HL-1870N- hpijs.ppd.gz foomatic-filters-ppds: usr/share/ppd/Brother/Brother-HL-1870N- lj5gray.ppd.gz foomatic-filters-ppds: usr/share/ppd/Brother/Brother-HL-1870N- ljet4.ppd.gz foomatic-filters-ppds: usr/share/ppd/Brother/Brother-HL-1870N- ljet4d.ppd.gz foomatic-filters-ppds: usr/share/ppd/Brother/Brother-HL-1870N- pxlmono.ppd.gz Alternatively, http://www.linuxprinting.org/show_printer.cgi? recnum=Brother-HL-1870N claims that there is a PPD on the driver CD (or downloadable from Brother). Stuff this into /usr/share/cups/model and restart cups. WFM. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
