So, let me get this straight. You are not connecting remotely? That is fine then. Let's go ahead as planned at 15:00 hrs tomorrow. Don't forget to install TeamViewer for Linux on Zorin and email me tomorrow with the generated ID and Password on TeamViewer. Look forward to 'meeting' with you.
Warm regards, swarf'

So, if you would like to, you can puplish your helpfull brother printer configuration you did on my PC. In the hope it can help out other people.
Hi. I think this is where I have to take back that you don't need Brother installer.
So as a quick note to anyone viewing this thread.
-
If your Brother printer/all-in-one has a 64-bit Linux (kernel) driver then you will not need the Brother driver installer tool.
-
If your Brother printer/all-in-one only has a 32-bit (i386) Linux (kernel) driver then you will need the Brother driver installer tool which is a tarball containing a 'cupswrapper'.
Make sure that you download the printer driver which is separate and usually appears below the Brother driver tool.
If you follow their guide it should install the printer for you which involves opening a Terminal (just type terminal in the menu search bar then press enter):
sudo dpkg -i --force-all mfc[model number of printer]cupswrapper-x.x.x-x.i386.deb
You will be asked for confirmation to install the cupswrapper.
Your terminal will prevent you with some questions. If it is only USB connection and not a network one then when you get to the question where it asks for an IP Address to be entered, leave it blank and press the Enter key.
You will then be presented with 11 options relevant to your printer setup. In today's installation I had the choice of either number 9 or 11 which indicated ipp with USB at the end of the line.
To check you may need to use CUPS via the browser:
localhost:631
Brings up this page in your browser:
You can also check with:
sudo system-config-printer
[Note: system-config-printer is not installed by default so you will have to install it with:
sudo system-config-printer
which I have covered in the Unofficial Manual.

I think the wrong post is marked as 
Solution. I will change that to Swarf's post #32. (If that is also incorrect, just change it again.)
