Brother printer driver for Chromebook 3

Solution 1:

Select the .deb option.

On most Debian-based Linux distributions, users can double-click on .deb packages to install them. This same functionality can now be found in Chrome OS. You can double-click on any .deb file in the Chrome OS Files app to start the installation process.

Even though it was already possible to install .deb packages through the command line with sudo dpkg -i package-name.deb, this makes using Linux apps on Chrome OS much easier for beginners.
