Brother HL 2030 on Ubuntu Intrepid

I recently had problems with printing. The printer stopped after each page for a short period and started printing the next page after a short delay. This slowed down printing a lot and was very annoying. I use Ubuntu 8.10 and Brother HL-2030.

You can use the HL-2060 printer driver, but he automatic installation choses Brother HL-2060 Foomatic/hpijs. I found a description of this driver at http://www.linuxprinting.org/show_driver.cgi?driver=hpijs, which says that it’s a HP driver.

After switching to Brother HL-2060 Foomatic/hl1250 as recommended, the printing works as expected.

This is a documented bug as well see e.g.: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/foomatic-db/+bug/137580
