Using XP printer from Linux Mint
I want to use the Brother HL-2140 l.ser printer on my XP PC from Linux Mint. The printer is set for sharing and I can use it from a different XP PC.
I add the printer to Mint using the screen dialog. When I submit a test page from LibreOffice Writer it "prints" a dozen or two dozen blank pages but never the text I wrote. I have changed from the postscript (recommended) driver to another. Only one page "prints", but it is blank.
I also tried printing from "gedit" with the same results.
Please offer suggestion(s).

A Giggle search revealed lots of problems with printing from Mint over Ethernet to a Windows PC. None I found addressed a case like mine.
