Comments
16 pages per minute, PCL 5e and PCL 6, 8 MB (136 MB max.), one tray for 250 sheets (max A4/Legal, a second tray can be added), parallel, USB 2.0.
Highest resolution with "pxlmono" (PCL 6) seems to be 1200x1200 dpi, but complicated graphics (especially with bitmaps) is very slow, full-page bitmaps in 1200 dpi can even make the printer hang, usual documents (as e-mail from Mozilla) come out quickly.
"hl1250", the PCL-5e driver prints up to 1200x600 dpi. Much faster on bitmap graphics. In general, very fast with all documents.
Brother provides a driver, too, but binary-only and only for LPD/LPRng. According to the printout quality it is based on the "ljet4" Ghostscript driver. "pxlmono", "gimp-print" (600 dpi), and "hpijs-pcl5e" (600 dpi) give a better grayscale quality and all special features of the printer are accessible by PJL commands.
There is no manual in the box, you find it as PDF file on the CD with the Windows/Mac drivers.
