This inkjet printer and scanner seems to work with Trisquel 5.5. You will need to install the Xsane Image scanning program to use the printerś scanner. Also, in order for a normal user to use the scanner you must add the following line to /lib/udev/rules.d/40-libsane.rules.
# Brother MFC-J220 ATTRS{idVendor}=="04f9", ATTRS{idProduct}=="0259", MODE="0664", ENV{libsane_matched}="yes"Note: If your running Trisquel 64 bit version, you will need to install ia32-libs.
The MFC-J220 has a built-in fax. No PC required. The printer has four mode keys: Fax,scan,copy and photo capture. Unfortunately, I couldn´t get the printer to scan to the computer using the printerś scan key. It sends a 0 byte PNM image to a brscan folder in my home directory (Iḿ working on it). As far as photo capture goes, just stick a sd card in the printerś slot and you pick the image you want to print looking through the printerś LCD screen. The Fax and copy keys work as well.
Other keys on the control panel are Black Start, (making copies in black and white) Color Start, Stop/Exit (Stops an operation or exits the menu) and an On/Off key. Note: you will have to rely on the printerś control panel to monitor your ink levels. Scanning and printing from the computer is fine.
