I've been to the Brother web site and found that they don't have drivers for FreeBSD but they do provide the source code. I downloaded the source code. So far so good. I unzipped the tarball and had a look. There's the source code. I don't know what to do with it. I've learnt to type "make install clean". How do I make this code into something useful? sad kid :-(
