Things I do right after installing Linux

Every time I install Linux, I do some things before anything else:

Internet:

  • Firefox Addons
    • Adblock plus
    • Add Bookmark Here 2
    • All in one Gestures
    • BBCodeXtra
    • Foxmarks
    • MeasureIt
    • TabMix Plus
    • Twitter
  • Servers
    • Apache
    • MySQL
    • PHP
    • Webmin
    • PHPMyAdmin

Then I create 4 small scripts:

  • One for searching, installing, view the version and one for show info about packages.

Then I install my printer ;)

Brother DCP-7010L and Linux

This is for users with a Brother DCP-7010L only!

First of all I install the LPR Drive. Then I install the Crups Wrapper and that’s it installing the printer :)

And for the scanner I install the Scanner Driver. Althou I have to do some tricks:

alejandro@matos:~$ lsusb
Bus 002 Device 004: ID 04f9:0182 Brother Industries, Ltd
Bus 002 Device 002: ID 0e8f:0003
Bus 002 Device 003: ID 046d:0901 Logitech, Inc. ClickSmart 510
Bus 002 Device 001: ID 0000:0000
Bus 001 Device 002: ID 058f:6362 Alcor Micro Corp.
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 0000:0000

So I know the vendor and product ID and put it in the 45-libsane.rules by doing this:

sudo gedit /etc/udev/rules.d/45-libsane.rules

and replace
LABEL="libsane_rules_end"

with
# Brother DCP-115C
SYSFS{idVendor}=="
04f9", SYSFS{idProduct}=="0182", MODE="664", GROUP="scanner"
LABEL="libsane_rules_end"

After restarting, the scanner and the printer work perfect ;)
