I have occasionally had luck using Gimp-print to set up unsupported printers : http://gimp-print.sourceforge.net/MacOSX.php

Your HL-1440 is on the list of supported printers. It may not support all the features (or work well at all, as I said my success has been 'occasional')

I agree with Jim, though, the simplest solution is to find a printer that will work.

Subject: Schizophrenia

I've asked for help before on my newer intel machine on which no printer driver
works with El Capitan for my Brother HL-1440 printer.

You guys have sent me suggestions and I thank you and none of them work.

None of the printer drivers work. Any instructions to mess around in Terminal
don't work. I've downloaded step by step instructions for doing things in
Terminal and those don't work either.

Finally, I did buy version of 10.6 Mac OS and a new hard drive and installed it. I successfully
installed the HL-1440 driver and it works, however neither system works with
each other. I can't print any files from El Capitan. I don't have permissions. I screw
around with permissions like running Hard Drive utility and nothing changes. Screwing
around with the permissions panel in Info doesn't change anything.

I see there is a master password in Terminal. I have never messed with that. I don't
know what it does. I have a bunch of files I need to print. I'm not getting anywhere.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.
