We have a Brother DCP-8045D. Here's our device description, in case it helps you. Be sure to scroll to the end as I also stuck a CRTDEVPRT in there.

printer device description for Brother MFC

I am trying to set up my new printer as a virtual device. It is a Brother MFC. When selecting the Manufacturer Device and Model, there is not an entry for Brother.

The Brother MFC uses the same non postscript language as HP printers. Try using a similar HP printer and let us know your results. Dave
