If I wanted to buy a new brother SW laser printer and it came with a .deb package including a ppd and other stuff:
Should I assume it would work with cups?
Would it be enough to just copy the .ppd? I don't feel confident installing random .deb files in my debian.

The structure of the .deb package is: ├── etc │ └── opt │ └── brother │ └── Printers │ └── HLL2460DN │ └── inf ├── opt │ └── brother │ └── Printers │ └── HLL2460DN │ ├── cupswrapper │ │ ├── brother-HLL2460DN-cups-en.ppd │ │ ├── Copying │ │ ├── lpdwrapper │ │ └── paperconfigml2
