Description Helge Deller 2010-11-19 22:45:13 UTC
foomatic-db is missing entries for some newer Brother printers (in Fedora13, 14 and rawhide).
I own two printers for which the PPD files are not included in the fedora foomatic-db package:
* Brother MFC-9840CDW
* Brother MFC-8880DN

The PPD files are available for download from Brother website http://welcome.solutions.brother.com/bsc/public_s/id/linux/en/download_prn.html
under the open-source GPL license.

Compared to what's available in the foomatic-db-ppds-4.0-20.20100819 package,
those PPD files are missing:

Maybe you could add those GPL files to the foomatic-db package (and push upstream?), so that other users can find their printers as well?

Thanks,
Helge
