It works here.
It's a Brother colout laser printer.

I had trouble with it a few months ago. Turned out my system
had a lot of broken packages, including quite a few of
the CUPS packages.

I'm not sure how my system got into that state. An incomplete
upgrade to daedalus perhaps? But why hadn't I noticed that at
the time?

So I upgraded and dist-upgraded everything until
the system stopped getting any changes, and after that the
printer just worked.
