Comment 2 for bug 1074579

Hello
I did try to add the package and typed in Ubuntu 12.04 LTS. Which is the
whole program. This was rejected. Because the bug relates to the
installation of the 12.04 and probably the previous version of Ubuntu the
printer will not work on any package. Nothing would be gained for me to tick
them all. I'll have a look at my report and see if I can add anything
useful.
I did quite a bit of reading before registering the bug. It should be easy
to reproduce the problem because it happens every time I tried installing
the program.
Hope this helps .

I typed in an update and wasted a long time trying to include a package as
it would not let me get out, then gave up.

I'm happy to help so if anyone needs any info about the issue by all means
contact me. Please don't ask me to keep going round in circles I'm not
computer literate enough to find my way through you procedures.

Title:
  Network Printer installed gives message Unable to locate printer
  "BRN001BA94892E"

Status in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  All packages installation of Ubuntu 12.04 LTS

  Hello
  I have been using Ubuntu and the Mint variant for a few years I think
since 9.04 (The Brown version). My Network printer Brother MFC-9120CN
worked on the older version. I upgraded to Ubuntu 12.04 and installed the
printer. It seemed to install properly but always gave the error message
Unable to locate printer "BRN001BA94892E".
  I tried on the Mint versions the current cinnamon and the previous version
bases on Ubuntu and had the same problem. I know the printer works because I
have a laptop using Windows 7 which finds it, and a friend installed Linux
Susi which worked.
  I've tried a few things to fix it but have not been successful.

  I believe that the issue relates to the fact that it is a network
  printer. I recently installed Fedora 17 it also found the printer and
  gave 2 options to select. I selected the default. It worked.

  I am not from an IT background I hope this help you be aware of the
  problem and hopefully you will be able to interpret how Fedora
  identifies it so Ubuntu works with it.

  If you need any further information let me know and I'll do my best.

  Thanks

  Jeff Lee
