Hi Francesco,


thanks to your and Brian's work (& maybe someone more?), the printer "Brother 
HL-5240" works well on the parallel port. Round about the printer failed just 
for some days, maybe two weeks.

As I am actually working on a LaTeX-book (in german), that I will release in 
some months on GNU GPL or a corresponding licence, I almost use LaTeX & 
friends. So I can say that there seem to be no problems with PostScript, PDF 
and TeX's DVI - as far as I can see, cause I'm not printing lots of material, 
mostly short tests.  

A pure .txt-file, even printed, looks good.

Package versions (ditto):
cups/1.5.3-1
cups-filters/1.0.18-2+b2
ghostscript/9.05~dfsg-6



Cheers and thanks,

Stefan
