I have two laser printers: Samsung ML2571N and Brother HL5240L. Both
worked perfectly with magicfilter and lprng (I don't use Cups). For the
Brother I used their supplied linux filter.

I asked one or two questions via email from Brother; they seemed to know
about linux. The only hiccup I encountered was making the Brother work
on my local network; Brother support told me it wasn't an ethernet network
printer, which of course I knew. But I got it to work via ssh once I'd
figured out that I didn't need to have the driver in the printcap on the
client machine.
