<pre wrap="">I answered my own question - the MFC-L2740DW shows emulation as PCL6/BR3 -
which is same emulation as the Brother printer it's replacing (MFC-7840W)
Also found a few threads via google outlining this exact issue - there are
some 'cumbersome' workarounds using GhostPCL and Perl etc but not a can of
worms I have time for...
thanks for catching the emulation issue - I guess I ASSUMED when it had
Linux support that PCL would work
Shame on me!

<pre wrap="">Well, guess I should have done my homework more initially - wouldn't have
even thought this of a Brother all in one.....
They have a 'sister' printer to this one MFC-L2740DW that claims PCL6
(does this 'automatically' assume it will then also support PCL5?)
If not - does anyone have a suggestion on a similar type new printer -
this isn't a super high traffic printer but obviously needs to be able to
print from filePro.....having scan/fax feature is a bonus but not a true
necessity
thanks for the help

CentOS 5.10 w/fp 5.6.10R4
Replaced an older Brother printer with new Brother MFC2700
Cups can print a test page fine - I loaded drivers to Windows PC and can
print to it fine
But everything I print from filepro is just blank pages.....so I'm
scratching my head here
Didn't change IP address, just changed the ppd file that Cups uses and

Any thoughts on why this would be?
Printer is configured in fp using standard hplaser in printer
configuration, just like the older brother printer I had and was no
issues....

I would guess that the new printer is not PCL5 compatible, or it defaults
to something else and requires a PJL preamble to specify PCL5.
