CUPS doesn't have a driver for my model yet. Since the list convinced me of the dangers of using the --force-* dpkg option, I wondering if there is any alternative to the procedures listed on the Brother site. If not, I don't see any choice to using the --force option.  Anyone know if the deb driver is proceeding downstream for inclusion in Intrepid or even if Brother plans to do so. Any info welcomed.

For your information, I have an Epson EPL-5900L printer, and I have had
to give up to get it to print from my linux long ago, and can only make
it print from windows - that is, not all printers work in linux - better
hope for your printer??
