I have a Brother HL2070N, which is single-sided. Never see that
problem.
Sounds like a PostScript error to me, so I wonder if the app is generating
invalid PostScript that is causing GhostScript to choke. Not sure how it
would be related to the specific printer, were that the case.
Till recently I used a Brother HL-1440 without problems. This printer
(I think) understands the HP PCL4 control language. The HL-5240DN
understands a variety of control languages:
PCL6, BR-Script 3 (PostScript® 3™), Epson FX-850, IBM ProPrinter XL
to be exact. The driver I'm using appears to send postscript to the
printer. It is identified in the printer control website
(
http://localhost:631/admin) as:
Brother HL-5250DN BR-Script3 (grayscale, 2-sided printing)
I don't think it's GhostScript (tm) that's choking but rather the
printer itself, though I may be wrong here. Any ideas on how to
investigate?
