Show me how to install the drivers of Brother MFC-J470DW Printer on Linux Ubuntu software. Thank you.
Visit [this page]:[1]
Choose linux and .deb and click search.
Follow the 3 step process to download the Driver Install tool (at this time it is entitled linux-brprinter-installer-2.0.0-1.gz)
Save the file as shown:
Open and extract the tool somewhere convenient (your desktop for example)using Archive Manager.
Open a Terminal (CTRL-ALT-T)
Change to your Desktop directory and make the file executable as follows:
cd ~/Desktop
chmod +x linux-brprinter-installer-2.0.0-1
run the tool by issuing the command
sudo ./linux-brprinter-installer-2.0.0-1
Answer the questions the tool asks (It starts with your model # as shown below)
This approach works with a large number of Brother printers, not just the model you specified.
