It might also -be worth trying if you have some other old Brother monochrome laser -printer. +Most Brother printers support a standard printer language such as PCL +or PostScript, but not all do. If you have a monochrome Brother laser +printer (or multi-function device) and the other open source drivers +don't work, this one might help. -Currently this printer is not supported by other free software -drivers. Ghostscript's hl1250 driver almost works, but has glitches -with some fonts. (That driver tries to use PCL emulation, but that -seems to be buggy on this printer. The proprietary driver never uses -that mode.) +It is known to support these printers: -Brother provides a non-free x86-only driver. - -Requirements ------------- - -* CUPS: tested with version 1.6. -* A C++11 compiler: GCC 4.6 or later, or a recent version of Clang. +* Brother DCP-7030 +* Brother DCP-7065DN Copyright ---------
