btw, did you bother looking for instructions *specific* to openSUSE?
see:

I will look at the URL you suggested, but note that I'm not using openSUSE,
but an earlier version that seems to work.

There were several url's. So look for information pertaining to the
version of SuSE that you *are* using.....

seems like there is a lot of information available. Google *is* your
best friend!

seems you would have removed the sig ???

The instructions I downloaded came from Brother, and are specific to SuSE,
ver. 9.0 or later --I have 9.3-- and include other Linux versions, but I
obviously used the SuSE instructions. These do NOT include YAST, altho
YAST shows what is installed, etc. I don't know if YAST should highlight any
problems, but it did not do so.

did you try removing the printer installed as you indicated you wanted.

The instructions expect a CUPS system, which I believe I have.

you don't know? from cl: rpm -qa cups

The installation is run from the console. After that, you need to use
the browser (Firefox, in my case) and go to http:// localhost:631 and
follow some other simple instructions, which I believe I did.

That is the interface to the cups server. There is provisions there
to remove/install/configure printers. Do the removal there

Unfortunately, the troubleshooter at Brother says the server cannot be
reached, so I can't look for their assistance. Maybe on Monday they will fix
the server?

Brother's server?


If anyone out there has successfully managed to get 2.0.1-1 working with a
2040 printer, I would like to know how you did it. Meanwhile, of course, I
will keep trying the troubleshooter server, to see if they fixed it.

You are not interested enough to google for a solution? There are
many people professing successful installation and use of Brother
printers in linux.

btw, their servers are up.
