Brother HL-L2340D printer and lpd?

[Victor Sudakov]

Dear Colleagues,

I'm trying to use a Brother HL-L2340D printer as a simple networked
line printer with lpd. I've successfully used HP and Canon printers like
that with a simple printcap like this:

# by VAS
lp|Brother HL-L2340D series:\
        :sh:\
        :rp=TEXT_P1:\
        :rm=192.168.1.74:sd=/var/spool/output/lpd1:lf=/var/log/lpd-errs:

but the story with Brother HL-L2340D is different. When fed some input 
with "lptest |lpr", it just spits out 3 empty pages. I've never seen
anything like that before.

I'm wondering if someone has this printer and made it work as a line
printer.

 From the specification at
https://support.brother.com/g/b/spec.aspx?c=us&lang=en&prod=hll2340dw_us_eu_as
it should support LPD.
