According to:

Emulation(s) BR-Script3‡, GDI, PCL6 (PCL XL Class 3.0), PDF Version 1.7, XPS Version 1.0
I'm running a Brother HL-5450DN with a BR-Script3 ppd that I built following the print/cups-filters README:
http://cvsweb.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/cv...ype=text/plain

I've used the ppd for both lpd, via foomatic-rip,
and
cups spoolers: place ppd in
Code:
/usr/local/share/cups/model
.

PCL6 emulation is also an option via print/ghostscript using the plxmono driver. This entails some pre-processing as opposed to the BR-Script3 driver.

https://docs.freebsd.org/en/books/handbook/printing/

is helpful along with @Oko's thread in this forum on using foomatic-rip with ppd's https://daemonforums.org/showthread.php?t=8710

If you do not want to build your own, I can send you mine. Open the PPD in a text editor with find/replace capability and replace the HL-5454DN model with your model. PM if you want it.
