That's also what I do. I have a Brother DCP-7045N connected as network
printer with lpd protocol. I can install it with a single ppd file, but
then printing is VERY SLOW. Printing is fast with the Brother supplied
"cupswrapper" driver, but this is only available as 32bit package, and
that is ugly on a 64bit system. Has someone hints how to debug the issue
with slow printing using only the ppd description (without cupswrapper)?
The cups structure seems very complex to me, and I don't know where to
start.
