well. in that case, it may be a good idea to:
1. open a support ticket with Brother, specifically to get their web
site's download page fixed;
2. search their site for the driver installer I mentioned in an earlier
mail. it is supposed to be able to find and download the drivers
for you, when you run it.
3. if one of the more generic drivers for cups on your linux system works,
use it. that's what I did for years with my HL2070N.
