+"brlaser" Brother DCP-7030 printer driver
+=========================================
+
+This is a driver for the Brother DCP-7030 laser printer. It might also
+be worth trying if you have some other old Brother monochrome laser
+printer.
+
+Currently this printer is not supported by other free software
+drivers. Ghostscript's hl1250 driver almost works, but has glitches
+with some fonts. (That driver tries to use PCL emulation, but that
+seems to be buggy on this printer. The proprietary driver never uses
+that mode.)
+
+Brother provides a non-free x86-only driver.
+
+Requirements
+------------
+
+* CUPS: tested with version 1.6.
+* A C++11 compiler. A recent version of GCC or Clang will work.
