I have two Brother laser colour printers that work very well with the PSPRINT driver after I added the PPD for each to it.  You should be able to get the PPD from the Brother site under their Linux driver for that printer.

Mine are the DCP-9020cdw and HL-3170cdw
NOTE: you need to be careful when reading how to use PIN.exe to get the PPD into the PSPRINT.

The pcl driver does mostly work with the 7365 but not always reliable for some jobs.  I never had any luck with the linux ppd files with psprint and did not find windows ones.

Hi Andy,
Did you run the cleanppd.cmd first?  My biggest problem was getting both printers to appear in the printer list.

You can look at:
In the Manage Printers program, in File ---> Import *.ppd
I have never used it but it can be very interesting.
saludos

It has been so long that I do not recall and at this point, CUPS is working well and it was an easy setup on ArcaOS where CUPS was installed anyhow.
