Brother HL-Series of monochrome laser printers

This printer driver supports various devices from the Brother HL series of monochrome laser printers. These devices varies mostly in their available memory and thus, their capabilities regarding the supported resolution. Simple documents can be printed on all devices with high resolution. But expect printing failures at high resolution for devices with 2 MiB memory or less. Please report if you have trouble with high resolutions on your low memory printer device. Refer section Brother HL Laser Printer Trouble shooting for details.
