Various points
- Have you tried http://solutions.brother.com/linux/en_us/index.html
to download the linux drivers for your printer? Explanations are
pretty clear
They include:
- The source code
- RPM Installer packages for Redhat
- Debian installer packages
- For the HP, try
http://www.linuxprinting.org/show_printer.cgi?recnum=HP-LaserJet_1018
- Regarding signatures on Thunderbird (the Mozilla email client) try
