	  For Debian Etch users: take ljet4 filter from magicfilter
	  and change the gs invocation to &quot;[...] sDEVICE=hl1250
	  [...]&quot;, then configure lprng/magicfilter as
	  usual.

      USB connection, max. paper size A4, toner-saving functionality
      0, 25%, 50%&lt;p&gt;

      Tested with CUPS on OpenSUSE 10.0:&lt;p&gt; &lt;p&gt;

      Download-RPMs from Brother did not work, but using the PPD for
      the Brother HL-2060 foomatic/hl1250 did work (Media Source:
      Automatic, Media Type: Plain Paper, Page Size: A4, Resolution:
      300dpi/600dpi, Toner-Saving: 0/25%/50%)&lt;p&gt;

      Using kprinter-gui from KDE &quot;2 pages on one sheet&quot; did not work
      (maybe solveable), but normal functions work without problems
      under OpenOffice, KPDF, XPDF, Firefox ...&lt;p&gt;

      &lt;b&gt;Another user:&lt;/b&gt; Downloading and installing the
      RPMs from Brother worked for me (using SuSE 10 and KDE). With
      the HL-2030 drivers, the text was first shifted too far up on
      the page; this went away after deleting the printer in YaST2 and
      adding it again. Works fine now, difference to first user entry:
      Toner Saving only &quot;on&quot; or &quot;off&quot;, but can
      select from a list of different paper sizes and media
      types. Printing two or four pages per sheet works fine from
      kpdf.&lt;p&gt;

      &lt;b&gt;Another user:&lt;/b&gt; On Fedora Core 4, with
      KDE. hl1250 driver worked for me, except when printing 2 pages
      on one sheet (margins were wrong). hl2030 driver from brother
      works perfectly for me.&lt;p&gt;

      &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Another user:&lt;/b&gt; Also works fine
      (multiple pages, toner save etc) on Kubuntu 6.06 with the Debian
      Brother drivers. Easy &lt;a
      href=http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=123539&gt;installation
      instructions here&lt;/a&gt;. I first had to &lt;a
      href=&quot;http://ubuntu.wordpress.com/2005/10/13/enabling-cupsys-web-admin-interface/&quot;&gt;enable
      the browser-based admin for cupsys&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;p&gt;

      &lt;p&gt;Note: 12 Dec 06: Brother now seems to have new .deb
      drivers that also support 1200 dpi resolution.&lt;p&gt;

      &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Another user:&lt;/b&gt; If you only get
      low-resolution graphics when printing PDFs (using Acrobat)
      try using the hpijs-pcl5e driver instead of the recommended
      hl1250.&lt;p&gt;

      &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Another user:&lt;/b&gt; With Ubuntu 7.10, the
      printer worked out of the box. No installation, no anything.

      &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Another user:&lt;/b&gt; Works pretty well with
      Brother's HL-2030 driver. The only minor problem I have for
      the moment is that the margins are larger than
      announced.&lt;/p&gt;

      Consumables/Refills: Toner: Brother toner TN-2000 s/w (2.500
      pages at 5%); drum unit: DR-2000&lt;/p&gt;
