Hi all - I’m trying to install a Brother printer on a laptop running Puppy Linux version 5.6. The reason I’m using such an old Puppy is that I need to run Team Viewer (TV) on the computer for support, and TV was having problems with later versions of Puppy. However, both the Puppy install and TV are working fine. My next problem is to install a printer.

I’m trying to install a Brother MFC-J825DW printer as per the Puppy Linux Discussion Forum instructions to do this in the “How To Install Brother Printers and Scanners

You have to install the debbi pet. It is the first post of that topic, toward the bottom of the post.
