Need help with printing

[bushyiii]

I have a Brothers HL-220DW Printer/Scanner/Fax.  Using localhost:631 I was able to do a test page successfully.
The printer configuration didn't provide anything for Brother printers so I chose Generic driver. 
I had downloaded the Brothers Linux drivers tool but didn't know how to use it within tinycore.

There are instructions for saving the printer configuration across boots and that where I need some help.

My first stumbling block is the first item to add to the backup.  Since I used the Generic printer driver how do I form the first item and then once formed hos is it saved to the backup

These are the following instructions to save the printer configuration:
 To persist across boots, add the following to your backup (remove leading "/"):
                /usr/local/etc/cups/ppd/HP_OfficeJet_G85.ppd [for example]
                /usr/local/etc/cups/printers.conf
                /usr/local/etc/cups/cupsd.conf (only if you changed it)
                /etc/shadow (if you want to save to root password

This command will show you the name of the ppd file created for your printer:

Code: [Select]

$ ls /usr/local/etc/cups/ppd/*ppd

Thanks, I found the ppd file now how do I go about saving it and the other listed files into the backup process?

This is explained in the faq, wiki, tinycore book and in many forum posts

OK....I previously searched the wiki and the ebook for the specifics of printing in tinycore and was unable to get the answers I needed.  Just didn't think to go back to these resources for saving files.  I appreciate your reply.
