I carelessly bought a printer/scanner that has a proprietary driver.
It worked fine in Fedora 18 and earlier.
It doesn't seem to work with Fedora 19.
Not much to be done with a proprietary driver, but I'd be happy with any
reasonable solution.
The printer is a network printer. I have a CentOS 5 box that can print on
it. I thought that my CentOS 5 box could act as a print server for my
Fedora 19 box.
I arranged that, using the respective GUI tools.
It doesn't seem to work. So I think that my F19 box still needs the
proprietary driver. I get one line of postscript printed on the page.
Is there some way that I can get the F19 box to treat the CentOS
machine's published printer as something generic, like a PostScript
printer?
Here's where Brother describes Linux support:

I don't seem to have SELinux issues.
