Description: Brother monochrome laser printer HL2270DW

2.6.38.8-pclos1.bfs

PCLinuxOS 2012.02

USB or wireless

print quality very good
speed = about one page every 2 seconds

paper tray is letter size only.
paper may come out slightly heat distorted.
noise level is acceptable.
printer is small and light weight.
Cost around $100 in 2012.
will not print small pages without tweeking and will spit out reams of some kind of code.
Fix/tweak:

Here's the fix:

At about line 38, Add to the following lines to /usr/local/Brother/Printer/HL2270DW/lpd/filterHL2270DW:

# This is a Hack until the "file" command gets fixed

if [ `head -1 $INPUT_TEMP1 | grep "%!PS"` ] ; then
FILE_TYPE="PostScript"

fi


I put it right after the line that says:
Code:

FILE_TYPE=`file $INPUT_TEMP1 | sed -e 's/^.*:[ ]*//' -e 's/[ ].*//'`
Keywords: Brother, monochrome, laser, printer, cheap, economical
Connection Type: USB or wireless
