AFAIK there is no free driver (foomatic or gutenprint) for my printer
(Brother DCP-8065DN)

I tried both with  "Brother DCP-8045D Foomatic/Postscript" and "Brother
DCP-8085DN Foomatic/Postscript" without luck. Neither of this two
drivers is able to print pages. Tried both with cups 1.5.2-5 and 1.5.0-13
