   OK,   
      
   I 100% uninstalled the printer and went directly to Brother's website   
   and downloaded the printer driver in a .deb package.   
      
   Same results, system sees and installs the network printer, but in   
   queue, it simply shows as pending...there is no printing.   
      
   On USB all fine   
      
      
   One thing though. In addition to the Linux printer driver, the website   
   also has a driver install tool in a .gz package   
      
   Is that something I also need to install?   
      
   If so, I can extract it, but I guess I need explicit instructions as   
   what to do next
