Trying to setup Brother 1240 to be able to be printed to from across
LAN (Mac OS X/WinXP), preferably using smb.
The Brother 1240 hooked to the FreeBSD 5.3 machine via USB:

iclass 7/1
ulpt0: using
The known printers have .ppd files in /usr/local/share/cups/model.
Did you get a CD with the Brother? I recently bought a Brother HL-6050DN mono

model directory and viola...
You might try the Brother web site...

there or will be automatically installed by something.
Well you know what they say about
