Same problem here with that printer on my little network. It was working perfectly for me in f9 using ipp and the hl1250 driver.

I could never get it to work with f11--same results you describe. The wedged state seems to accompany a driver problem of some sort: I get cryptic errors saying "/usr/lib/cups/backend/ipp failed' in the printer config dialog, or "[Job 12] Job stopped due to filter errors..." in the CUPS log.

The only way I got it to work was to install the driver and lpd bridge from the Brother Linux support site. Not a very satisfying solution, and there are still glitches with it (routine, erroneous "paper out" condition), but at least I can print again.

I don't feel like I understand enough of what's happening or what's /supposed/ to happen to even file a useful bug report--which is now the case for huge chunks of desktop Linux, but that's a whole 'nother whine.
