Bug Description
I'd like to see the GPLed printer-drivers from brother included in Ubuntu.
Except for the changed location of the cups-initscript (/etc/init.d/cupsys
instead of /etc/init.d/cups), they already work fine in Ubuntu 5.10.
Upstream download location:

I am not a legal expert but can the following drivers be included in multiverse?

You need both the lpr and the cups wrappers.
