Port notes
**************************************************************************
brlaser has installed a collection of PostScript Printer Description (PPD)
files to the following directory:
${prefix}/share/cups/model
Each file corresponds to a particular Brother laser printer model. (In many
cases, choosing an incorrect PPD file will still print correctly.)
To install a printer, plug in your printer and open the Print & Fax pane
in System Preferences. Click the + sign to add a printer, then locate the
Use (or Print Using) button and choose Other. Navigate to the PPD file
corresponding to your printer to install it.
For example, the PPD file for a Brother HL-L2300D can be found here:
${prefix}/share/cups/model/brl2300d.ppd
The brlaser MacPorts package must remain installed on the system in order
to print to any printers added in this way.
