First of all I'm just a longtime Ubuntu user trying to contribute a bit to Ubuntu... The pxlcolor driver is an free generic PCL6 driver provided by ghostscript. Your printer supports hardware resolution of 600x600 dpi (according to its specifications), the higher resolution 2400x600 dpi support uses Brother Color Advanced Photoscale Technology (CAPT) especially for images, this probably requires some extra PJL initialization specific for this printer (probably something like @PJL SET APT = ON but the exact command is only known by Brother). For this one would have to look at the output sent to the printer by the Windows PCL driver (reserve engineering), since I don't have this printer that will be difficult to test. Limiting the pxlcolor driver for your printer to 600x600 dpi is the easiest and is sufficient for text printing. And if you want the higher resolution you can use the free Brother BR3 Script driver.
