If you cannot find a native, free solution... I use this commercial print driver with my Brother HL5370DW (bw laser) and I'm very happy: http://www.turboprint.info 30 day free trial... so there's nothing to loose. I have a Brother ink jet as well... don't use it in linux but it would probably work. I've purchased non-OEM color ink cartridges on Amazon for $4. That is 3 color and 1 bw cartridge shipped, as a set, to my door, for $4 total. And they seem to be working as good as the OEM. Wish I would have bought more... If you really need a specific printer and it's not linux compatible, you could do this: http://www.instructables.com/id/Use-any-GDI-printer-with-GNULinux/
