On CentOS6 / CUPS 1.4.2 I have numerous Brother MFC-9840CDW and Brother
MFC-9970CDW units, these work very well.  I'm using the "Brother
MFC-9840CDW BR-Script3" driver for the 9840 and the "Brother MFC-9420CN
BR-Script3 (color)" driver for the 9970 units [not certain why the 9420
for the 9970s, looking in our groupware system I don't see any comments
about that].  These printers support both Postscript and IPP.
