It sounds like all the ones you've tried are 'Foomatic'-based drivers.
How about if you try this one?:
Brother HL-5070N - CUPS+Gutenprint v5.2.5 Simplified
Yep, no soup. I think that is the default, and just tried it again and
doesn't work.
(it comes from the 'gutenprint-cups' package, which you might
not have
installed.)
# rpm -qva|grep guten
gutenprint-cups-5.2.5-5.fc13.x86_64
gutenprint-5.2.5-5.fc13.x86_64
Alternatively, the foomatic-db-ppds package provides a PPD from
Brother
for this printer, but I've just spotted that it is confusingly filed
under model 'HL-5070N BR-Script3' (I'll fix that for a future
system-config-printer version).
I've now tried pretty much all of them in various ways, and they all
print the same error message.
I've also tried the "overwrite" and "keep settings from previous
PPD"
choices, and same result.
Thanks for any ideas.
Best regards,
Alex
