I have a Brother MFC that has the same issue - no support under linux at all. My solution is to have a printer server running win98. On this I have "redmon" and ghostscript pretending to be a postscript printer. This postscript printer is shared over the network to the linux machines.
I still have plans to use a win98 virtual machine so I can eliminate the win98 box but need to test VMWare server's provision of usb ports. Kerry.
