I hate to abuse launchpad like this but Saïvann seems to want feedback here:

I'm still not sure what the advantages are supposed to be over the ones already included in Ubuntu, but I have a Brother HL-5250DN connected over the network. I downloaded and installed:

brother-cups-wrapper-laser
brother-cups-wrapper-common
brother-lpr-drivers-laser
brother-lpr-drivers-common

Configuring the printer for the new driver worked fine but when clicking Print Test Page many many many processes are spawned consuming all RAM.

(From ps)
lp 29176 0.0 0.0 1772 492 ? S 18:06 0:00 /bin/sh /usr/bin/brprintconflsr2 -P HL5250DN -ps AUTO
lp 29177 0.0 0.0 1772 492 ? S 18:06 0:00 /bin/sh /usr/bin/brprintconflsr2 -P HL5250DN -ps AUTO
lp 29178 0.0 0.0 1772 492 ? S 18:06 0:00 /bin/sh /usr/bin/brprintconflsr2 -P HL5250DN -ps AUTO
(etc...)

Looking at this /usr/bin/brprintconflsr2 (with copyright boilerplate snipped)...

--------
#! /bin/sh
/usr/bin/brprintconflsr2 $@
--------

Amusing loop...
