How to use Brother HL-720-730 printer in Tahr 6?

#1 Post by AWAK2015 »

I never encountered problems with LPT printer Brother HL-720-730 installation in previous Puppy distros, but Tahr Puppy 6 won't recognise my Brother printer. Neither after updating to 6.0.1.
Any help please? Otherwise I have to return to Slacko or Precise Puppy.

From the command line, run: modprobe lp

Then run your CUPS setup.

To make this permanent, add the line to the file /etc/rc.d/rc.local

[Edit] No reply? It is basic forum courtesy to do so.
