Other Instructions: The printer drive disc is missing
A few days ago, the color laser printer in the company's vice president's office moved to another office and received it from the computer of the Office Director. Linux is really a "lazy dedicated system", and the installation process of the entire printer is done by itself. There is no need to find any driver, and a test page (SEE) is created. The effect is good ~

Once it is successfully printed, I don't care about it. I simply set it up and shared it in the LAN, so I didn't care about it.
Yesterday I was eager to print two sets of bidding books, each set of about 90 pages, with 4040, suddenly found that the printer in the Linux environment, every two pages to print a re-push, at an interval of more than 40 seconds, the office manager was anxious to see the problem: "My God, when will this speed reach?"
After my analysis, this situation may have a direct relationship with the driver. Reload the driver. The list of available drivers is only available.
What should we do? Look for it on the official website. If it still doesn't work, you can only switch back to the dead...
After some searching, I found the Linux driver on the official website, in the rpm and deb formats:

Start installation now. Come with me ~
1. Remove the original HL-4040CN printer from system → system management→ print
2. Download the LPR and cupswrapper packages. On the download protocol page, click the "I Accept" button to start downloading.

3. Install both packages (like installing LPR first and then cupswrapper). You cannot remember which package you want to install first. If the first package cannot be installed, install the other package first, and then install the first package)
4. The computer will automatically add a new HL-4040CN printer in system → system management→ print, point to the printer → right-click the menu → properties → click the "change" button next to "manufacturer and model"

Note: Some people may say how the device URI is "smb:", because this figure is captured on my computer.
5. Select "provide PPD file" on the "select driver" page, and open the "brhl404040cn. ppd" file in the "usr/share/ppd/" directory.

6. On the "existing settings" Page, select "use new PPD" → click "application" and "OK" all the way → OK

Now let's test it. Haha, the printing speed is fast. I printed the two sets of bidding books in minutes ~
