Okay, I'm trying to set up a Brother printer on Debian. The open drivers don't allow me to use the scanner, so I have to use Brother's, and the process involves manually entering the printer's IP address.
I cannot figure out how to find a printer's IP address. I have searched, and the instructions are pretty baffling.
Any suggestions? Help very much appreciated.
