Hello dear community
I have got a printer from brother, model HL - 11, also called HL-1110.
It is saud to be compatible with Linux.
Now I have different questions concerning the installation on my notebook, driven by Trisquel.
Brother offers different an install tool and different printer drivers for Linux. Which driver do I have to install ?LPR Printer driver (deb paackage) or Cup Swrapper Driver (deb package)?
What are the following steps afterwards?
Thank ypu very much in forward!
Kind regards

The printer driver you want to try is the 'printer-driver-brlaser' available in the repositories of this distribution.
You can open the synaptic package manager to install the software: https://trisquel.info/en/wiki/how-software-installation-trisquel-different-windows
We can't recommend using the proprietary drivers as it goes against the community guidelines: https://trisquel.info/en/wiki/trisquel-community-guidelines .
Hello Eric
thank you so much for this helpful answer
I was also insecure concerning the question if these debian packages are propriate or not, but didnt know how to do otherwise.
Now I can follow this link hoping that the installation is self explaining:)
Thanks again and I wish you a goodday!
