2 Go to
http://welcome.solutions.brother.com/bs ... HL-3150CDW
3
Download these 2 files
hl3150cdwlpr-1.1.2-1.i386.deb
hl3150cdwcupswrapper-1.1mkdir /var/spool/lpd.2-1.i386.deb
and expand both files
4
Go into software manager and install
ia32-libs
5 Open the terminal type
sudo su
(enter password)
mkdir /var/spool/lpd
6 Using the CD instruction, move the terminal focus to the directory where the 2 driver files are located and run these 2 lines
dpkg -i --force-all hl3150cdwlpr-1.1.2-1.i386.deb
dpkg -i --force-all hl3150cdwcupswrapper-1.1.2-1.i386.deb
The 2 things I am unsure about (ie; I don't have a clue) is how do I expand these 2 deb files and what specific CD instruction do I need to move the terminal focus to the files in the download directory.
Thank you for you help.

The CD command depends where you have stored them - bear in mind that Linux has case specific directory names i.e. User is different to user and Dom is different to dom
You may find they are in /home/mav/Downloads

try sudo su
then type in cd /home
then ls and see what you have there
then cd Mav (or mav) or most obvious
then ls - see if you have a directory called Downloads
if so then cd Downloads
you should then see the file in there if you type in ls

waldo@gouda:~$ pwd
/home/waldo
You just need to change directory from there:
waldo@gouda:~$ cd Downloads
waldo@gouda:~/Downloads$

If you double click on a .deb it will open the package installer.

(not mav)
duncan seems to be the name of your directory
then
cd Downloads
or as above - you could try a filemanager - what version of Linux are your running ? I'm only really familiar with the GUI of Ubuntu

In the end it was straightforward I followed Hairy McBikers advice about the file manager and package installer.
I am not sure what advantage, if any, there would have been in following the instructions shown in my first post unless someone was very famaliar with Linux.
Anyway, thanks again for the help.
