Description
When I trying to add DCP-1512R, system-config-printer selects Brother DCP-1200 Foomatic/hl1250 as driver.
It mostly works, but with minor lacks (see pic related, red underlined artifacts).
To fix it, need to install CUPSwrapper from brother support . It distributes with GPL2, so can you add that ppd into foomatic-db?

Research direction
Start with the DCP-1512R details and the linked Brother support package, then compare its CUPSwrapper PPD with the existing Brother DCP-1200 Foomatic/hl1250 entry. Done means the DCP-1510 series is represented in foomatic-db and selecting the printer no longer falls back to the older driver.
