Sorry to disagree with your assessment, but it is the print quotas which are causing a lot of grief out here in userland!

It took a lot of effort and some patient hand holding by the Brother techincal support staff, but I was able to get a Brother MFC-5440CN working via a network interface on a Dell Inspiron 4900 laptop running SuSE 10.2. Everything ran fine until the messages "Print quota exceeded" began to show up in the logs. Considering that only 52 total print jobs were initiated by five users, and that the limit values were all set to "0", this is unacceptable! Please fix this before my family begins bowing to Redmond again!!!!

I will be checking into the resources you link to as soon as I am done here, but I have to second the  motion that an improvement in the quota documentation is needed.
