A good idea. I've tried the 5 printers suggested by
system-config-printer for this model printer with the following results.
(Testing all the 3767 drivers in the Foomatic database seems a little
excessive.)
Brother-HL-5250DN BR-Script3
Double sided printing FAILS
Brother-HL-5250DN Foomatic/Postscript
Double sided printing FAILS
Brother-HL-5250DN Foomatic/lj5gray
Driver FAILS completely (see below for error message)
Brother-HL-5250DN Foomatic/pxlmono
Double sided printing WORKS
Page download so slow as to be unusable
Generic PostScript Printer Foomatic/Postscript
Double sided printing FAILS
Attempting to print the test page for the Foomatic/lj5gray driver
produces this output on the printer:
PCL XL error
Subsystem: Kernel
Error: ExtraData
Operator: 0xc1
Position: 7
Thanks to all - jon
