I just got a brand new HL-1110, and when printing text set in a serif font, the print quality looked like ass. I found a toner density adjustment in the Windows driver, and after some USB capture and comparison with some PPDs from brother's drivers for other brother printers I added an adjustment to this driver.
...and here's the PJL header of a print job that has the density set to +3 (darker) as sent by brother's latest (five year old) Windows driver:

Here's one of brother's PPDs for another printer with the same setting: https://github.com/pathakh/brotherCups/blob/552710c340ebb4c9b54fd0753134e34973a26d24/brother/ppd/BRP7000E_GPL.PPD#L447
