I thought I needed to start the printer service (cupsd???) but I can't find the system-config-services (or whatever it's named, if not that) app either.
systemctl start cups.service
thanks Frank! Actually I had figured that out shortly after posting, but was hung up on the subsequent problem for a while, and so didn't post.
the subsequent problem is that Brother's drivers are 32-bit and if you're using 64-bit Linux you need to install the 32-bit glibc. Duh.
Now it's working.
I have been hung up by the same glibc 32-bit/brother problem, but I don't know how to resolve it. This is a new Centos 7 installation. On a Centos 6 system, I simply installed the 32-version and the printer worked.
But I run into a dependency/version problem that would require ever deeper downgrading of those libraries. When I try to install glibc.i686 , i get:
Error: Package: glibc-2.17-55.el7.i686 (base) Requires: glibc-common = 2.17-55.el7 Installed: glibc-common-2.17-55.el7_0.1.x86_64 (@updates) glibc-common = 2.17-55.el7_0.1
Trying to downgrade glibc-common, fails on account of other glibc version problems.
It appears that all glibc libraries, including kernel headers, were upgraded, except for glibc.i686 (which I hadn't installed when I set up the system) has never been upgraded.
If anyone knows what I can do, where I could find a newer 32-bit glibc, please let me know. I can't find the matching rpm.
