I don't have a Brother printer. But for fun I downloaded
linux-brprinter-installer-2.2.2-1.
When I ran it according to the instructions I got the following
[root@f32k egreshko]# bash linux-brprinter-installer-2.2.2-1 HL-L2360D
You are going to install following packages.
hll2360dlpr-3.2.0-1.i386.rpm
hll2360dcupswrapper-3.2.0-1.i386.rpm
OK? [y/N] ->
Does that match with your experience?
It's close.
The instructions had the wrong script name.
The file I downloaded had two scripts,
neither of which was named in the instructions.
For some reason I used
ash linux-brprinter-installer-2.2.1-1 HL-L2360DW
even though linux-brprinter-installer-2.2.2-1 is there.
For some reason the File browser is only showing
linux-brprinter-installer-2.2.2-1 .
ls shows both.
Their container is gone.
IIRC I did get those rpms installed.
I have to go by memory,
because I can find no record of what I'd done except for
bash linux-brprinter-installer-2.2.1-1 HL-L2360DW
in history.
root@localhost ~]# yum list --installed '*brp*'
Error: No matching Packages to list
[root@localhost ~]#
First several other packages installed.
IIRC at least one name included glibc .
I'm not sure why.
I'd already been using g++ .
All those packages made me think huh, but seemed harmless.
