As a happy user of two Brother printers, using Brothers drivers, the OP
should be well aware that he will spend weeks of time poking at just one
printer, to come up with a driver that does half of what the Brother
driver can do, and quite likely poorer, and slower than the Brother
driver. Principles I guess are nice when you step into the voting booth,
but not when following them on nothing more than a rumor he heard from
somebody with a bad taste for Brother, makes zero sense. The ones I am
using Just Work(TM).
I am of the opinion that this thread has run its coarse as he has refused
to do the sensible thing here, and the refusal was stated up front.
