how to get a brother hl-2040 printer configured?

[Robert P. J. Day]

  i've got the above USB-connected laser printer and i've hooked it up
to my f8-t1 system.  the first problem is that when configuring that
printer, there is no entry for *exactly* an HL-2040 -- the closest
apparent model is an HL-2060 so i picked that.

  but when i try to print a test page, all i get is blank page after
blank page spewed out of the printer.

  help?  please?
