 ==== Description ====
-The Brother DCP-9020CDW Printer is a full colour laserprinter for the small office, equipped with a scanner and FAX compability. The printer can be configured as network printer or like a normal printer, like any other model. What's even better about this model, is that it runs under windows, mac and linux.

+    * Download the Linux cups from the Brother site from [[http://support.brother.com/g/b/downloadtop.aspx?c=eu_ot&lang=en&prod=dcp9020cdw_eu|here]].
+    * After downloading you should have a file like this in your download folder linux-brprinter-installer-*.gz
+    * Use the cd command to set yourself into the download folder
+    * unzip the tar file
+    * Next would be the command sudo bash linux-brprinter-installer-* DCP-9020CDW
+    * Accept the license
+    * You will be asked about the URI device.
+    * If the printer is connected via USB, chose NO
+    * If the printer is connected via WLAN/Ethernet, chose YES
+    * You will be shown a list with connection types, chose the Auto type or specify an IP address.
+That's it, now the DCP-9020CDW should be fully functional with your Ubuntu PC. It should work for other linux distros the same way.
