I own and use a Brother HL-5150D and did not need to use thier drivers. The machine it's connected to runs Fedora Core 2. All I did was connect it to the USB port, import the PPD file from the printer's install CD into Fedora's printer configuration utility and configure it like any other printer. It works great. Duplexing also works great. The printer is available across my home network via CUPS.

If you don't want to bother with importing their PPD file, the generic postscript driver should work fine for any Brother printer that supports BR-Script 3.
