Hi Guys, I have recently been experimenting with a fresh install of Linux Mint (22.10). In the past I have used Ubuntu for many years and always had issues with installing scanner drivers for my Brother DCP-J315W. Ubuntu seemed intent upon changing something every 2 or 3 years rendering Brother driver instalation tools obsolete. Usually after many hours trial and error, I would find a solution in tweaking various configuration files or copying driver files to a new directory etc. However, Mint has me stumped. It has a very similar structure to Ubuntu but something must be different for after trying all my past tweaks, Mint refuses to find the Brother Drivers. Do you have a list of tweaks relevant to Mint that I can cross reference to my Ubuntu list and hopefully spot something different? Cheers David Brown
