I have a brother MFC210C printer/scanner (don't care about the fax),
The drivers aren't included with 3.1,
They're not in portage,
It seems the only place you can get them is the brother download page:
http://solutions.brother.com/linux/en_us/index.html
So I downladed the RPM's (there are also .deb files if that's easier).
Then I thought i'd install them but it seems that there are no programs to do this.
And when I tried to install kpackage it said that:
Error: the kde-base/kde-env package conflicts with another package;
the two packages cannot be installed on the same system together.
Please use 'emerge --pretend' to determine blockers.
--pretend gives:
kde-base/kde-env (is blocking kde-base/kdelibs-3.5.5-r2)
thanks for any help, or just for reading through.
