I have been trying to get my Brother HL-1240 laser printer working in
FreeBSD.

It was a little bit of a pain to do in linux but I got it working with CUPS
with the help of some GUI front end stuff to sort through the rubbish?

Is there any way to do this without CUPS.

I have tried APSFILTER and the docs I see on the web say to use the
laserjet ghostscript driver.  This is  USB printer and when I try to print
the testpage my machine resets itself.

This is clearly bad behavior.

I have downloaded ghostscript 7.0 and am going to try it a little later
today.

Can anyone help me?  I'd hate to  have to build a small linux machine as my
printserver....

Dave
