Description of problem: Although Brother provides an installer for its model HL-5450DN, there is not one provided in the Masgeia repositories. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): MGA5 How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. I used the Brother installer, but a member of the Mageia team suggested I report a bug so that the driver (and perhaps others) coulkd be added to the repository. Reproducible: Steps to Reproduce:
CC-ing Shlomi Fish who apparently tried to import an install-brother-printer package in the past (according the maintainers database).

@Markus: there is problem on mga6 too? If yes please above set Version to 6 and add "MGA5TOO" in the Whiteboard field. If you know it is valid in Cauldron, set Version to Cauldron and add "MGA5TOO" and "MGA6TOO" in the Whiteboard field. Should work according to http://www.openprinting.org/printer/Brother/Brother-HL-5450DN Optimally the goal is to make it work with Mageia packages, but as workaround to get it running maybe use manufacturers drivers here: http://support.brother.com/g/b/downloadlist.aspx?c=eu_ot&lang=en&prod=hl5450dn_all&os=93 Brother Linux info: http://support.brother.com/g/s/id/linux/en/index.html http://support.brother.com/g/b/downloadlist.aspx?c=eu_ot&lang=en&prod=hl5450dn_all&os=127

Severity: minor => normalVersion: 5 => 6Whiteboard: (none) => MGA5TOO
Found the ppd file as well as the filter script: https://github.com/illwieckz/debian_copyist_brother/blob/master/material/sources/hl5450dncupswrapper-3.0.0-1/PPD/brother-HL-5450DN-cups-en.ppd https://github.com/illwieckz/debian_copyist_brother/blob/master/material/sources/hl5450dncupswrapper-3.0.0-1/filter/brother_lpdwrapper_HL5450DN Maybe we could put the pieces together to get a working driver?

Mageia 6 is no longer supported. If you still need to upgrade to Mageia 7: a safe way would be to use a netinstall ISO http://doc.mageia.org/netinstall/7/en/content/index.html and then select to upgrade in the "Install or Upgrade" step.
