I used to use the Brother i386 CUPS drivers, but when I switched to 
"Generic PCL 6/PCL XL Printer Foomatic/pxlcolor (recommended)" (the open 
source PCL6 driver in cups-filters), and removed Skype 4 i386, I was 
able to remove the entire i386 architecture from my computer.  :-)

Both my MFC-L2740DW and (according to the online specs) Pierre's 
HL-L2340DW have PCL6 emulation.

Kind regards,
