As Brother doesn't give me a nice manual how to install my HL-2150 network enabled printer I figured out myself to install “from scratch”. Make sure you installed the CUPS package and the cupsd application runs in the background and is accesable with a browser at http://127.0.0.1:631

Download the cupswrapper debian file from the Brother website: Brother drivers for linux

Then I converted the debian package with alien to the tgz format which is the slackware package format.

Here a list of commands I used to download, convert and install the cupswrapper:

wget http://www.brother.com/pub/bsc/linux/dlf/cupswrapperHL2150N-2.0.2-1.i386.deb
alien --to-tgz cupswrapperHL2150N-2.0.2-1.i386.deb  
installpkg cupswrapperHL2150N-2.0.2.tgz
/usr/local/Brother/cupswrapper/cupswrapperHL2150N-2.0.2

Then I added the printer using the CUPS web interface and selected the Brother HL2150N for CUPS (en) driver in the list.

That's it!
