As described in the DCPS release notes you must define the Logical 
DCPS$MYMFP_PRODUCT_NAME properly when using a LPD queue. MYMFP must be 
replaced by the name of the queue, so in your case the logical should be 
DCPS$LASER_PRODUCT_NAME. I also had to try out some values for this 
logical before I successfully got the grey bars with my brother 
MFC-L3730CDN. I succeeded with the logical set to "HP Color LaserJet 
CM6040 MFP".
