    I am trying to install drivers for my Brother mFC-440CN, which is a printer installaed on my network. I downloaded the drivers from the Brother website. I followed the instructions there and type:

    rpm -ihv -nodeps /mnt/home/mfc440cnlpr-1.0.1-1.i386.rpm

    I hit enter and get "-nodeps: uknown option". So I can't go any farther than that. What am I doing wrong?

    It should be "--nodeps", that is, TWO dashes, not one. "-ivh" is ok.
