pcl and postscript. Faint alarm bells sounded in my head - inkjet,
inkjet, inkjet. I ignored the warning; after all he was surely in
possession of a manual and would know the printer capabilities. The
CUPS filter chain produces a file to be sent to the printer which is
identified as "data", not PostScript or PCL. Installing the two
Brother .deb files (a five minute job) seems to be the only way for
printing to take place.
My plan is to install the Brother drivers in a virtual machine. When
that works, I can use wireshark to see what's actually being sent to the
printer, and decide if I want to do something to make it work on the
"real" machine.
