HI FC:
I completely uninstalled the Brother laser CUPS and lpr drivers.
Reinstalled including the common which did, in fact, add the brPrintList.
However, with this fix, still unable to change printer settings.
Now...if I change the name of the printer in brPrintList from MFC-7420 to MFC7420 (no hyphen) it works perfectly!
So, it appears that brPrintList must contain names w/o hyphen.
Also, when installing the printer, the MFC7420 (and others from the packages) does NOT appear in the list of brother printers. I had to manually search out the ppd file (under /usr/share/ppd. While this is not a problem for me, it could be disconcerting for an inexperienced user.
