HL2240D printer on Ubuntu 12.04

 * Trying to install a Brother HL2240D printer on Ubuntu 12.04. Started directly on Brother's site, downloading these and these instructions, but it didn't prove successful.


 * Next most promising initial lead I found was in an Ubuntu forum, specifically puetti004's post. Along the way, got help from the Ubuntu official documentation about how to open a folder in terminal.

TYPE IN TERMINAL: cd ~/Desktop

The above typed into Terminal lets you access files on your Desktop.


 * This got the printer to put out a test page, but still not actually print something. Final step was figuring out how to admin the printers from the Fun With Linux Follow My Progress With Linux blog.

TYPE IN WEB BROWSER: http://localhost:631/printers
