brother printer


Hi

I am trying to get my printer (Brother MFC-3240C) working in my FC2 laptop.
The printer manufacturer has provided a lpd based driver (thru an rpm file).
When I install this rpm file, it puts the settings in /etc/printcap.local file.

My Fedora installation by default installs CUPS printing system instead of LPD.
Is there a way to use this LPD based driver and make it work with CUPS?

If not, how do I install LPD system in my machine?

yum install lpd
doesn't seem to work.

I have never really understood the differences between the CUPS system
and LPD based priting system.

Any help would be really appreciated.

regards
-Anand
