Brother HL-2040 not printing

[fedora]

Hi Phil
I have a Brother HL-2030-Series.
When I installed F11 it behaved like you described.
I had to change the printer driver using the Web Interface to cups.

now my /etc/cups/printers.conf looks like
(MakeModel defines the driver):

# Printer configuration file for CUPS v1.4.2
# Written by cupsd on 2010-02-12 15:11
# DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE WHEN CUPSD IS RUNNING
<DefaultPrinter HL-2030-series>
Info Brother HL-2030 series
Location printerserver.mydomain.com
MakeModel Brother HL-2060 Foomatic/hpijs (recommended)
