Re: brother dcp-1616nw driver

I can't see anything related to that specific printer either on http://www.openprinting.org/printers

Your link shows the device supports ethernet network printing and usb printing, so you should be able to follow the generic cups wiki page to add the queue.

For the driver, you might have to try downloading the drivers from the manufacturers link you posted: there is a  CUPSwrapper printer driver at...

http://support.brother.com/g/b/download … _as&os=128

which you should be able to extract and then integrate into your system. I notice the CUPSwrapper printer driver contains a ppd file.

Good luck!
