  I have found the print filters that come with Redhat 4.1 were great.
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
