Hey, Simone;
Thanks for the tip. I used a different driver: Brother HL-5250DN
Foomatic/pxlmono. It seems to print faster than the HL-5170DN which can
take around 45 seconds before the job starts to print. The
Foomatic/pxlmono only takes about 4 seconds before it starts to print.
Also, I've been watching the launchpad bugs mentioned by Brian Potkin.
Only one of the test files they posted on those bug reports works for
me. Not to mention that Ubuntu has decided it is a Brother driver
error. I'm not saying it's not, but those drivers have not been touched
by Brother in four years, and my printer has been working that whole
time. So, I'm a little hesitant to point the finger at Brother.
At any rate. I seem to be working for the time being. I'll just keep
an eye out for ghostscript and cups updates and retest the postscript
driver if I see any.
