Install these open source CUPS drivers (two downloads):

Gsahli, thanks for the tip! For what it's worth, the link I used for a driver for the Brother HL-1240 printer (attached to a Windows machine on my network) is this: http://www.linuxprinting.org/macosx/hl1250/

Super-easy installation, and works perfectly. Thanks again.
