Yea, the printer doesn't do "Postscript" (ARRRGGHHH!), but after I configured cups, which was not too painful, I've been able to print the .ps file, and the .pdf file that I had created earlier. I was even able to print the .png that I had in the directory. I printed across three pages, but it printed... the only thing that didn't print was a .doc that I had, which did not print in kword, but libreoffice works just fine. Honestly, this is leaps and bounds ahead of where I was two weeks ago. I still want to figure out the lpd, but for now, cups is working fine with the ppd supplied by Brother...
