OpenPrinting CUPS Filters

The error I expect, but do not  know for sure, is because its running on 
Brothers own linux drivers.  Their linux support isn't other than  
making the drivers available, nor are there any service parts other than 
expendables for their printers, but generally, they just work. Running 
on ethernet, but slow because their driver often has to issue the same 
command 7 times, arriving at the printer with a bad tcp checksum and 
being ignored the first 6 times. On the 7nth attempt the checksum is 
good, with attempts at 1 second intervals. 
 
I'd try hitting it with a usb cable, but the usb plug is buried well 
inside the MFC, needing at least a 10' usb cable to reach any of the 3 
or 4 hubs laying about.  Schematically, my usb map is a weeping willow 
tree.  The spec is for a max, unboosted usb-2.0 cable of 5 feet. But you 
knew that...

Thanks Brian.
