... Do you know if anyone has filed a Bugzilla against this problem?
Good question. I forgot to check.
These two look relevant, at least: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/buglist.cgi?bug_id=507628,507629
It might be a good idea to go ahead and file a new one specifically for the specific printer model, and include a reference to those existing issues.
I was digging around on the Brother web site last night, after reading your mail, and couldn't find any mention of Linux. They certainly used to have Linux drivers, but I couldn't find anything. Do you suppose they've backslid on their Linux commitment? or is it hiding somewhere else?
No idea. I've never tried to find their Linux stuff, just followed links from other sites. It seems unusual for any vendor to crow about their Linux support.
Here's the openprinting page for the printer: http://openprinting.org/show_printer.cgi?recnum=Brother-HL-2070N
There's a link to the Brother support site on that page, but here it is again: http://solutions.brother.com/linux/en_us/index.html
