I have a brother 9335cdw and it works fine with this: lp|scribet:\ :lp=9100@scribe:sd=/var/spool/output/scribe:\ :mx#0:sh:lf=/var/log/lpd-errs: It prints plain text and postscript fine > > Done with netcat.

If that doesnt work then check the sttings for printing language auto swiching perhaps it is off if it is there at all. I am pretty sure on my printer I didnt need to twsak anything. The printer works fine from both wired and wireless connections. -- Brett Lymn -- Sent from my NetBSD device.
