Hi, I've got a Brother HL2150N printer with x86 drivers. Do you know if there is any way of using those drivers in a 64bit system?

thank you very much.

Sadly, I don't think so.

According to the comments here, you can use the PCL5e driver instead:

I have an HL-2140 and I use that driver. The quality is decent, and the only problems I have is that it cuts off about 1 cm of margin and refuses to print landscape.

I got it working, thank you very much.

Apart from that, I got rid of the margin isue using the "Brother HL-2060 Foomatic/hl1250" driver.

Thank you.
