Evening chaps,I'm in the market for a printer and would appreciate any recommendations.I'd like a networked monochrome laser printer with duplex printing. I've been looking at the Brother range, in particular the HL-5250DN...
I got one of these recently and it seems to work just fine under Linux. I have a mix of Sarge and Etch systems.There is a CupsWrapper .deb file on Brother's website, which I haven't tried yet, but the PPD file on the CD is good.
My main query in respect of this printer is Brother's "BR-Script". Does anyone understand this? Is it a proprietary effort to do the same thing as ghostscript, or does it mean you can actually treat the printer like a real postscript machine?
It is Brother's own PostScript-compatible interpreter. You can (and I sometimes do) send postscript data directly to the printer.
