Question Brother hl-5040 Printer

Hi,

I'm searching for drivers for my new brother hl-5040 printer. I want to make a printer share over my samba server.

I'm using RedHat 8.0

Does anybody know some drivers which are working?

Thank You for all replies!!!

oh sorry, it works know *man, i am stupid*

I simply used webmin now and created a printer without a driver and maked a samba share, so the rest was made by the windows drivers......

so, it works now perfect...
