esskayb2d,<br />
my printer: HL-L2340DW<br />
my driver: &nbsp; HL-L2340D-series<br />
I ran Libreoffice writer and when I hover over the printer icon in the top left I see either generic printer or<br />
HL-L2340D-series. &nbsp;I don't know why it changes. When I try to print, nothing happens. &nbsp;I haven't done about/know what it is, CUPSWRAPPER. &nbsp;Any ideas?

I would have closed this yesterday, but I was busy printing stuff in Ubuntu on my new Brother priner :)

<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
Based on Brother's documentation and some experts' comments to my previous question about my Brother HL-L2340DW printer, it seems that Ubuntu 14.04 is the wrong operating system to use with my printer. &nbsp;I used Windows 10 for 6 months because I needed &nbsp;use Excel and Dragon Naturally Speaking and the printer worked fine. &nbsp;I finished my work and needed/wanted to come back to Linux but I had trouble getting my printer to work with Ubuntu. &nbsp;What is a good flavor of Linux to use with my printer? &nbsp;I have a 64 bit Asus with 12 gigabytes of RAM and a 2.3 GHz * 8 microprocessor.

Which Linux OS runs a brother HL-L2340DW printer most easily?

Linux is a UNIX-like open source operating system with hundreds of distinct distributions, including: Fedora, openSUSE, Ubuntu, Debian, Slackware, Gentoo, CentOS, and Arch Linux. Linux is generally associated with web and database servers, but has become popular in many niche industries and applications.
