Description of problem: Brother HL-2140 printer can be recognized and configured after plugged in, but it can not print. The automatically configured driver is Brother HL-2170W Foomatic/pxlmono. When a print task is sent to printer, the LED light flashes and the fan inside the printer starts running. It looks like some data transferring to the printer. However, nothing happens after that. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): foomatic-3.0.2-67.fc10.i386 How reproducible: Everytime Steps to Reproduce: 1. Plug in the Brother HL-2140 printer 2. Wait for a few seconds until the system recognizes and configures the printer 3. Try to print something Actual results: Printer LED light flashes and the fan runs for a few seconds. Nothing printed after that. Expected results: Print the file. Additional info: This printer works on Fedora 9. It also works on Fedora 10 beta after installing the driver from Brother's website.
Please attach the output of '/usr/sbin/lpinfo -l -v'.

Does the HL-1250 driver work for you?
Yes, HL-1250 driver works
The problem is that foomatic is missing an entry for this printer pointing to the correct driver, so we have to guess a close match.
