Question: I'm looking to install drivers for my "Brother HL-2170W" network printer. I can't seem to find the correct driver on the Brother site. Any help would be appreciated. I'm running on Ubuntu 10.04.1 LTS x86\_64.

Answer: 
This guy at: <http://mikebeach.org/2010/06/ubuntu-and-brother-hl-2170w/>
says there is a problem in 10.04 with a fault in the cups drivers, at least for the HL-2170W. 

Text worked okay but printing graphics took a long time. This was true for me. I followed his advice precisely and now my pdf files are printing great. I have only tested one page, probably should test a few more complex graphics but for now I'm a very happy camper. So I wanted to share the wealth.

Lots of other people on the ubuntu forums seem to be complaining about slow printing so I suspect that it is not only the HL-2170W printer driver that is bad. But step 8 in his instruction list will need to be changed, I think for printers other than HL-2170W.

Hope this helps.
I've (mostly) solved this problem, by doing something simple. I went into printer properties and changed the "Device URI". I chose "LPD/LPR Host or Printer" and used my ip address instead of one of the network printers Ubuntu suggests. 

This solves my general printing slowness as pages go to the printer immediately. The only exception is PDFs that still take a while to print.
