How to install Brother HL-2240D on S11E

Hey all,
Just bought a new USB Laser printer, I was hoping to set it up on my Solaris 11E Server, so that i could share it on the network. But I can not for the life of me figure out where to get some drivers for it?
Any ideas on where i could get them? can't seem to find it on Brother's website

Support only appears to be through closed drivers. Good luck!

Wow! I thought you wrote SUSE 11 for a moment. You might be SOL, but I'm no Solaris expert.

Search for a "CUPS" driver for it.

S11X uses the cups printing system, so if a cups driver exists it should work.

Note: Buy network-enabled PostScript printers in the future. :-)
