I have a brother HL-631 which was exhibiting the same effects, I played with various filters and was never quite happy with the way it worked. What I did settle down to eventually was printing all text through a2ps and the feeding the output to ghostscript. That worked okay until I re-installed linux..... I then tried redhat 4.1 and the printtool made life a lot easier. It installs an input filter. I am not sure on how much of the filter setup is RedHat's IP, but you can look into that. Now you can print ps, text or whatever and it get's rendered nicely and comes out crisp. This may sound like a commercial, but I was VERY impressed. Hope this helps. Matt
