Subject: Printer Driver
Hi, wanted to know how I can get the Printer Driver for the Brother DCP340CW Printer to work on my Ubuntu version of Linux. Am really new to Linux but am willing to learn and enjoy. JohnB

You might give this site a try: http://www.linuxfoundation.org/en/OpenPrinting They have forums just for the kind of help your looking for. If they can't help you, you can also try the Ubuntu hardware forums: http://ubuntuforums.org/ There probably aren't a lot of people on this site who happen to both use Ubuntu and the printer model you mentioned. It's been a while since I've installed a printer in Ubuntu, but I remember there was quite a few models available in the drivers list. When you go to install the printer (through the built-in printer configuration tool in the administration menu) you might try the drivers of the closest similar printer model and see if those work.
