Haven't bothered configuring DCPS as I'm no longer generating 
Postscript on OpenVMS.  And the Brother printers do work fine with 
telnet and with lpr/lpd, for what little local printing is needed.  
Alas, IPP is not yet available as part of VSI OpenVMS.

Brother has some older doc for printing hardware that had DECprint 
Supervisor compatibility, and that might give you some hints here.  
Search for DCPS and for DECprint here:

The text of these sections all looks rather similar.

Brother printers commonly have a user's manual and a separate 
networking manual.  You'll need the latter here, if one exists for this 
Brother HL-L6200DW printer.
