Comment 3 for bug 188453

Hi Michael Vogt,
    Thank you for replying - I fixed the problem by re-installing Ubuntu
and don't want to have to do that all the time.
    I'm an experienced computer user but a complete novice to Ubuntu and
Linux so I don't really know what I'm doing.
    I'm trying to install a Brother mfc8820dn network printer driver,
which is already setup on a Windows home network and is accessible by
Windows and iMac pcs. The mfc8820dn is a network printer attached only
to the network and to no specific computer.
    I received an email recently from Brother outlining their procedure
for installing the drivers but their procedures don't seem to work in
Ubuntu. At least not for me. I get many access denied messages and
must use sudo to get around them.
Here is the email:
