[Solved] Brothers driver requires Rpm or dpkg
I am trying to install the driver for Brothers MFC 7360N from here: http://support.brother.com/g/b/download … all&os=127
I downloaded the Driver Install Tool (comes in a .gz file) and unpacked it with gunzip. However, installing the driver with
sudo bash linux-brprinter-installer-2.0.0-1 Brother MFC-7360Ngives the error
Rpm or dpkg is requiredI do have cups and other dependencies installed. What is the problem here?

No-one has bothered to add it. Also, the number of packages in the AUR would make it difficult, and probably unwise, to list all of them on the wiki.
