Although the installation appeared to go smoothly, attempting to print using the Gutenprint driver resulted in the printer just spitting out page after page of printed error messages (one per page). The same thing happens when I attempt to use the Brother CUPS driver, although the BRscript-3 driver works. Thank you for your interest in the Gutenprint drivers. It appears to me that the printer is not responding to the PCL language. That would be the printer language used in the Brother CUPS and the Gutenprint drivers. The garbage output is presumably PostScript/BrushScript code. The BrushScript driver is a PostScript driver. Normally, a printer will automatically change modes to whatever print language it is sent. Perhaps others here might have some more insight.
