This gives a choice of 300dpi, 600dpi (default) or
HQ1200dpi. The test page under the default 600dpi is much
better. This test page (Ubuntu/GPL Ghostscript Version: 3010
Revision: 861) has six lines as border. One gets six lines
at top and bottom and five of each side. Thus the printing
zone now leaves out 4 mm at top and bottom and 6 mm on both
sides.

Under Ubuntu 8.04, the printer is immediately recognized as
"usb://Brother HL-2030 series" The configuration
system (system-config-printer 0.7.81 from Red Hat, Inc.
<a
href="http://cyberelk.net/tim/software/system-config-printer/)">http://cyberelk.net/tim/software/system-config-printer/)</a>
proposes the choice of a lot of different drivers but
recommends "Brother HL-2060 Foomatic/hl1250" This
gives a choice of 300DPI, 600DPI or 1200x600DPI (default 300
dpi). The test page under the default 300DPI is reasonably
good. This test page (Ubuntu/GPL Ghostscript Version: 3010
Revision: 861) has six lines as border. From these I get
only three lines above and five down. The six lines are
visible on the sides with equal margin outside. As such, the
printing zone seems to leave out 4 mm above and 8 or 9 mm at
bottom and 4 mm or less on the sides.

<p><b>User comment:</b> I bought this printer
today (22-9-2008) and I am using it at home to print text. I did
not test all its possibilities and I am not going to. Therefore
I choose "Mostly", but maybe it deserves more. When
printing photographs at HQ1200dpi you sometimes get an second
page stating "There is not enough memory... The printer has
printed at a reduced resolution". This is funny because a
GDI printer is supposed to have a little memory because the job
is done by the computer. But if you really wanted to print
photos, you would buy a good colour printer. Let me say that it
is quite noisy when printing but that this is not an issue
because it very soon goes back to sleep and that it is a
noiseless sleep. I find it a real advantage that it has a true
closed paper tray (250 sheets). Some printers in that category
have a protruding paper tray (for 100 à 150 sheets) in the good
old deskjet style. A closed tray under the printer lets no dust
in and takes less valuable real estate (as they say in American
computer magazines) from your desk.</p>
<p>Brother proposes its own software on the page <a
href="http://solutions.brother.com/linux/en_us/index.html">http://solutions.brother.com/linux/en_us/index.html</a>.
Under HL-2035, it sends back to HL-2030. I downloaded
<code>brhl2030lpr-2.0.1-1.i386.deb</code> and
installed it by simply double clicking it (not in a terminal and
not with the suggested <code>--force-all
--force-architecture</code>). I downloaded
<code>cupswrapperHL2030-2.0.1-2.i386.deb</code> and
installed it by simply double clicking it, but that gave an
error. I then read and applied the "pre-required
procedures" for Ubuntu 8.04 on Brother's web site,
installed again (again without the suggested
<code>--force-all --force-architecture</code>) and
that was successful. I choose the <code>Brother HL2030 for
CUPS</code> driver, that I suppose was the one I just
installed with the Debian package.</p>
<p><b>Update.</b> After I did this, I
discovered in the forum that Debian packages are available in
the Multiverse repository for Ubuntu 8.04. These are supposed to
be improved versions from Brother's. Therefore, under
Ubuntu (and maybe with Debian or other Debian derivatives),
simply read <a
href="https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BrotherDriverPackaging">https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BrotherDriverPackaging</a>
and install the appropriate packages. Through Synaptic,
selecting <code>brother-cups-wrapper-laser</code> is
sufficient, the lpr stuff being installed as a dependency. This
uninstalls Brother's packages. This leaves the printer
without any driver during installation and it could be necessary
to reactivate the printer after installation.</p>
