I've never got on with CUPS and alwayw use lprng + magicfilter. 

I have a Brother HL5240 which was working fine in this way until my HDD
broke a few weeks ago. After reinstalling Sid on a new disk I had
problems getting the printer to work, especially when printing from
other machines on the local network. Some helpful advice from the lprng
maintainer fixed that.

One odd thing: the driver I got from Brother and used previously
without problems now no longer worked. However, the ljet4 driver in
macicfilter is fine.

I have posted full details of how I got the printer working on my blog:
