Finally got this figured out.
I want to be able to print from the Macs, using Bellman to spool the output to a USB connected printer. For months I have been running upstairs with the Mac in my hands to print things. It was good exercise but kind of a pain, and I am afraid one day I will drop the Mac down the stairs.
First, connect the printer to Bellman and go into CUPS (https://bellman:631/). Set the printer to RAW mode on Bellman.
Then use the Brother driver on the MAC.
- Open System Preferences -> Printers
- Delete any existing Brother printer
- Add the printer "Brother laser printer RAW queue @ bellman"
- Let it default to "Generic PostScript Driver"
- Select the correct Brother HL-L2320D driver under "Use".
If you don't select the driver manually then printouts will go into Bellman's queue and just disappear.
