7 I have a Brother MFC 7420. Yet, it's not connected to my
8 Gentoo but to a FreeBSD box. There, I completely ignored the
9 recommended drivers. I configured lpd (/etc/printcap) to
10 first pipe the PostScript/PDF documents through a
11 Ghostscript command. The only real problem was to find the
12 proper device driver (ljet2p).
13
14 gs -q -dBATCH -dPARANOIDSAFER -dQUIET -dNOPAUSE -sDEVICE=ljet2p -r600 -sOutputFile=- -
15
16 Then I wrap around this a simple self-written PJL frame.
17
18 For about 8 years, though not printing too much, I never had
19 any problem.

21 You can have my PJL generator if you want (It's in Ruby).
