A Brother with all of the following features:
* Their Postscript/3 clone (which I believe is a licensed GhostScript)
* Ethernet port
* Duplexing
Adding other features are okay, but that triplet ensures that you get
their higher-quality controller set.
After that, it's completely CUPS compatible. No drivers actually needed;
you can treat it as a generic PS printer or the closest model (by DPI,
color, duplexing and number of trays) currently in your CUPS db.
