Brother laser prints blank paper.
I just bought new laser printer Brother 1230, and it has been great, but when I bought it I only had two wintel boxis, so I bought the cheaper model with no USB. Now six months later we have three macs. So I would like to know if there is a way to get that printer to work with these macs? When I try to print to it trough windows machine, it only prints blank paper. All my machines are on the same LAN. Thanks and sorry about all the typos.

Yeah, but those drivers doesnt work. I´am starting to think that this printer just simply doesn´t work with macs.

At the very bottom of the page, in small print -
Notes:
* Printer and MFC models not listed will NOT support Mac OS® X 10.0/ 10.1/ 10.2.
* The drivers do not support Mac OS® X server.
* You can use the PostScript Driver supplied with Mac OS® X.
So you will need to use Postscript drivers to make this model work.

Ok, so how do I do that? When I connect the USB cable to my mac and try to add new printer it sees my printer, but it doesnt let me install it. "Driver is not installed..." and I can´t do anything after that. Is it possible to install drivers manually? To tell the installer where to find those drivers or what drivers to use.
