There are two options for the DCP-7025. One is a generic PPD file
(Foomatic/Postscript). This is done by me, as a part of the Foomatic
upstream project which is part of OpenPrinting. The other option is a
native PPD file actually supplied by Brother, but they sent me PPD files
only once, and that was back in 2005 (2005-12-09, see ChangeLog of the
foomatic-db upstream package), well before they started to provide
binary drivers for non-PostScript printers.
