We have a network printer that I have been printing to (via firefox

replaced the printer with a new one of the same kind.
Lately, when I sent something to the printer othing happened at all.
Afterwards, I went to http://localhost:631/ and did manage printers.
I deleted the printer and added it back in. Here are the details
(we get pizza on Fridays and have it in a certain room where the printer
is near, hence the name):
Description: By Pizza Room
Location: By Pizza Room
Printer State: idle, accepting jobs.
Device URI: lpd://192.168.5.246/lqueue
but now when I send things there, it prints the first line,
and then about 40 blank pages (and the files I am printing
are text and not one line of text with thousands of blank lines).
I used Generic Generit Text Only.
it is a Brother HL5250-DN printer.
Any suggestions what I should do? I even rpm'ed the
lastest driver ( brhl5250dnlpr-2.0.1-1.i386.rpm).
I have Centos 4.5
use System > Administration > Printer and change the driver to the right
driver. Fedora has driver for the printer you mention.
