Bug Description
I attempted to install a Brother printer driver: mfc685cwlpr
The driver didn't perform as expected. The printer is wifi, but the driver seems to only have USB support.
So I attempted to remove it and find another driver.
Removal failed.
In Synaptic Package Manager, it shows up in red with a red X on the status box.
I've tried several times to remove this program--including in terminal. (can't remember what I typed in terminal. I was following someone's instructions)
Now, install/remove is broken and every time I start up my computer, I get a message to finish a partial install, but then get an error message saying I have to remove mfc685cwlpr first.
I can't install or remove anything.
