Refer: https://support.brother.com/g/b/downloadtop.aspx?c=us&lang=en&prod=hl2170w_all

Mac Setup, Get Binary from Site

IP address for installation is: 192.168.000.012
Web Interface is: http://192.168.0.12/printer/main.html

Brother has web portal at http://192.168.0.12 (admin / access)

The Brother site does has some installation instructions but it's for 32-bit software had to mess around with it, but the drivers seem to work, maybe?  Still used the Printer wizard.

Here's the installation instructions and *.gz file:
linux-brprinter-installer-2.2.zip

Using the wizard from the command line is the best way to install.  Choose option to install with IP address, when finishing and testing the installation.

Make sure you run the installation as sudo and also choose at the end "Will you specify the Device URI? [Y/n] ->y" with option 12 to specify the IP address of the printer as 192.168.0.12

no vpn secrets ubuntu 14.04

I just rm'd all files in /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/ and restarted Ubuntu 14.04. Problem solved. I know it was the last software update because I updated and shutdown. The next time I started up Ubuntu, the network kept dropping connection.

This almost worked to start from the command line but might need to run as sudo, might try if there are future problems.

Probably need this, needs read/write access to /var/run/vpnc, or change it's permissions:
$ sudo openconnect --no-cert-check gateway.hollandamerica.com

Original attempt that failed:
$ openconnect --no-cert-check gateway.hollandamerica.com

Another Idea is to try this for the, no luck with this:
[vpn]
password-flags=0
