Brother QL-580N doesn't print from CUPS

[noisebleed]

Hello all.

I have a network printer from Brother, model QL-580N, which I'm trying to print from CUPS using the Print Test Page option. The job reports success but I never see anything coming from the printer.

But... if I send a job from Brother's software for Windows, Ptouch Editor 5.0, after the printer starts I can print from CUPS successfully. Maybe the driver lacks some kind of initialization procedure...

Software in use is:

• net-print/cups-1.3.10-r2
  
• net-print/foomatic-db-3.0.20060720
  
• net-print/foomatic-db-engine-3.0.20060720
  
• net-print/foomatic-db-ppds-3.0.20060720
  
• net-print/foomatic-filters-3.0.20080507
  
• net-print/foomatic-filters-ppds-20070501

Besides these Portage packages I've also installed the ptouch driver released by Arne John Glenstrup so I can use the rastertoptch binary. Without this app CUPS returns foomatic-rip failed error.

Brother QL-580N was configured in CUPS using the following options:

• Device => AppSocket/HP JetDirect
  
• Device URI => socket://10.16.1.4
  
• Make => Brother
  
• Model => Brother QL-550 Foomatic/ptouch (en)

Note: There is no Brother QL-580N in the model list so I've selected QL-550.

Any help/hints/questions would be very appreciated. I can post here CUPS error logs, wireshark logs from CUPS and from Ptouch Editor (Windows) or anything else if needed.

Thanks!

Thanks theotherjoe. I've already tested the Brother cupswrapper before but with no success
