brlaser allows printing in 1200 DPI, whereas without brlaser only 600 DPI is available. This makes a big difference!

@mattst88 The lpinfo suggests you have the proprietary brother drivers installed. Could you confirm that it also works with this brlaser driver?

[mattst88]

Hm, I guess that's from the brscan driver. Here is lpinfo -l -v without it. I can confirm that printing works with the brlaser driver.

Hm, that lpiinfo output does look like it shows anything related to brlaser. I configured the printer through GNOME. Maybe that's why? Dunno. Printer works and GNOME shows "Driver: Brother HL-2270DW series".

You posted the needed required lpinfo:

Device: uri = lpd://brother/BINARY_P1
        class = network
        info = Brother HL-2280DW
        make-and-model = Brother HL-2280DW
        device-id = MFG:Brother;CMD:PJL,PCL,PCLXL;MDL:HL-2280DW;CLS:PRINTER;CID:Brother Laser Type1;
        location = 

Since you have had the proprietary drivers installed, I just wanted to sure that you where using the brlaser driver. Note that it says using brlaser v6 after the printer name.
