I have a similar-sounding brother laserprinter. I hate to say it, but I found the available open-source driver didn't produce correct output with mine, I had to use the proprietary driver from brother: hll2395dwpdrv-4.0.0-1.i386.rpm
Nope. Didn't work either. Brother's driver made it stop printing altogether, apparently put it in the state noted in my "pretends to print" thread. Even though I had the brlaser package installed, I decided to try the source version. I unplugged the printer, updated the repository I already had, and built according to instructions. For install, I did not directly use sudo. Instead I changed the ownership of the target directories and changed them back after installation. After reconnecting the printer, still no go, not with the orginal name, nor with the fedora-generated name. Just for grins, I deleted both printers and put one back. Now it prints correctly. I hate these mighty struggles, but at least I won this one. -- Michael henne...@mail.cs.ndsu.nodak.edu "SCSI is NOT magic.
