Yeah, I'd recommend that you >>do not<< use the default PPDs supplied with the slackware distro, at least not for Brother. For my Brother HL-L2395DW laser, and also MFC-J6920DW inkjet, I just googled linux HL-L2395DW install [substitute your own model] and the very first hit (for the HL-L2395DW) took me to https://support.brother.com/g/b/downloadtop.aspx? c=us&lang=en&prod=hll2395dw_us_as that lets you download "Driver Install Tool" scripts for that printer which set up everything correctly. Sets up /etc/cups/ and the various cups-related directories under /usr, and also creates an /opt/Brother/ directory with various other stuff. -- John Forkosh ( mailto: j@f.com where j=john and f=forkosh )
