I have a brother mfc-290c printer which will not print. I went to the brother website and downloaded a driver in deb format. The printer icon comes up in the menu tray but the printer does nothing. wont even print a test page. How do I access the print que as it says there are 12 jobs pending?

Is it set as the default printer in CUPS?"A nation that is afraid to let its people judge the truth and falsehood in an open market is a nation that is afraid of its people.”

Re: Printer Wont work
it is listed as the local printer in printer configuration and its ticked default. I originally tried to install by picking the default (recommended setting) and then when it didnt work I downloaded the driver in deb from the brother website and it installed succesfully but it still show the old driver settings in configurationComment
