Hallo,

thanks to all who suggested to use slpr. That is indeed the most simple 
solution.
1) I did NOT enable lpd. It still works fine.
2) I specified the very same IP address for LPD Server and LPD Printer: the 
IP address of the printer
3) for my Brother MFC-9480CDN, I took the OS/2 PSCRIPT driver and imported 
the PPD file
that came with the Windows printer. Works like a charm, I can print color 
etc.
 The only thing I had to do was to enable
"PostScript level 1 compatibility" in the Job Properties. But this is a one 
time action if you do it
from the printer object's general Job Properties section.
