Hi Gabe, I had much the same problem with a Brother HL-1440 Laser printer ($90-Tiger direct) When trying to set it up via the KDE printer wizard (on a Debian system), it would always fail. I tried using the drivers marked "recommended". When I tried one of the other (not recommended) available drivers, it worked perfectly. As I recall it was the "GIMP" associated driver that failed.
