It did on my first test. But I want to do some more checking just to
make sure. From more than 1 machine.

Unfortunately I am about to go away from the printer for some time, but
I will try to fit the extra tests in before I go.

Yes, I noticed that too when editing the org.cups.usb-quirks file,
which is one of the reasons that I wanted to check further in case
I had finger trouble before :-)

I suspect that the same will hold for the Brother HL-1270, which I 
believe is just the same printer with an extra network card installed.
But I don't know the idProduct code for that, and it would only be
a guess.

But those other Brother models are a little later and might have a
different processor... The HL-1250 has a Sparc.
