16 pages per minute, PCL 5e, PCL 6, and PostScript Level 3, 16 MB
(144 MB max.), one tray for 250 sheets (max A4/Legal, a second
tray can be added), 50-sheet multi-purpose tray, parallel, USB
2.0.<p>
There is a Brother HL-5050LT with a second 250-sheet tray
included.<p>
Best results are probably obtained when the printer is used in
PostScript mode with a PPD file from the printer's driver
CD.<p>
For the PCL mode see the page of the <a
href="show_printer.cgi?recnum=Brother-HL-5040">Brother
HL-5040</a>.<p>
Brother provides a <a
href="http://solutions.brother.com/linux/">driver</a>,
too, but binary-only and only for LPD/LPRng. According to the
printout quality it is based on the "ljet4" Ghostscript
driver. "pxlmono", "gimp-print" (600 dpi), and "hpijs-pcl5e" (600 dpi)
give a better grayscale quality and all special features of the
printer are accessible by PJL commands.<p><p>
