on cups or foomatic site you can search for driver and when multiple are available they tell you which is recommended and/or work better for this printer.
i think the web interface of cups tell you the same when install a new printer: http://localhost:631/

I use the Brother HL-1250 Foomatic/hl1250, which works fine for me. But you should go into the settings and set the paper size and dpi to whatever you want.
