Michal, does the HL-2130 work as a generic postscript printer? (I am guessing it does, based on a quick glance at the ppd and since the HL-2140 can act as one.) Brother's PPD for this model is licensed under the GPL. Their driver package also includes some binary-only components to configure the printer, unfortunately without an explicit license that would even allow us to distribute it, so probably any open source driver is going to lack some functionality in the short term. The free part of the driver is not listed at <http://www.openprinting.org/driver/Postscript-Brother/> as having been incorporated into openprinting-ppds yet. Reassigning to the foomatic-db package to pursue that. Thanks for some useful pointers. Jonathan -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
