Hi FC:
The latest package works perfectly :-)
However, although the printer IS detected (it shows it connected to the USB port), when I click on the printer and advance to the "printer model selection screen" and select "Brother" none of the "for CUPS" options appears. If I click on the "Other" button and navigate to the /usr/share/ppd/Brother directory, I can select the correct .ppd file and when I do so then I am offered the MFC7420 for CUPS option.
(Interestingly, if, after installing the 7420 successfully, I go back and try to install it again (thinking that the driver would be in the list) the MFC-7420 is NOT in the list of brother printers :-(
Obviously, the list is not populating from the additional printer list.
