Also make sure that the "laserjet" is selected as driver. Selct teh "Generic" manufacturer, and choose "PCL4 Printer" as model. Select how the printer is attached to the machine (parallell port, network etc). Open the GNOME printer management (System -> Administration -> Printing) and double-click "New Printer". This is just to configure CUPS, so any method will be fine. This is almost straight-forward, but only applies to GNOME-users. I could not find a way to adjust this, so I gave it up, until now: Everything i printed was placed too far up/left on the page, and the bottom/right margins became enormous. The LaserJet IIP driver was on the other hand razor sharp and had no ugly smilys, and worked well, exept one thing: the margins. The problems with The Brother HL-6 driver was that it became two nasty smilies on the top left corner of each page, and the prints was a bit "blury" (maybe not the right word to use on a laserprinter, but you understand). My printer can emulate a HP LaserJet IIP printer, so it's OK to use that driver too. The previous drives I had been using (in Horay) was either the Brother HL-6 driver or the HP LaserJet IIP driver. But when I installed Breezy on my brand new computer, I thought why not get it to work properly? I have an old Brother HL-6 laserprinter, and have actually never got it 100% working with linux. Install the Brother HL-6 laserprinter (and perhaps a few others)
