CUPS printer driver for some Brother laser printers

Project homepage: https://github.com/Owl-Maintain/brlaser

Description

CUPS driver for Brother laser printers. Most Brother printers support a standard printer language such as PCL or PostScript, but not all do. If you have a monochrome Brother laser printer (or multi-function device) and the other open source drivers don't work, this one might help. It is known to support these printers: Brother DCP-7030 Brother DCP-7055 Brother DCP-7065DN
