I own a brother printer and recently converted my laptop from Win8 to Ubuntu 13.10.
While I am pretty pleased with the overall stability and speed of Ubuntu over Win8, I am having trouble installing the necessary software to operate my printer. When I try to install the software, I keep getting the following error message:
Lintian check results for /media/david/My Passport/Utilities/Brother - Ubuntu/mfcj835dwlpr-3.0.1-1.i386.deb:
E: mfcj835dwlpr: maintainer-address-missing Brother Industries, Ltd.
I tried downloading and installing the software directly from brother's website instead of the copy I downloaded and stored on an outboard hard drive--and received the same error message.
As an alternative, can I install the Windows software for the printer and use it via WINE?
