Changed to Alpine base and removed Brother drivers. Generic postscript

works just fine.

-This Ubuntu-based Docker image runs a CUPS instance that is meant as an AirPrint relay for printers that are already on the network but not AirPrint capable. The other images out there never seemed to work right and didn't support many Brother printers. I forked the original to add more printer support, use the latest Ubuntu base, and work on more host OS's.

 ## Add and set up printer:
 * CUPS will be configurable at http://[host ip]:631 using the CUPSADMIN/CUPSPASSWORD.
 * Make sure you select `Share This Printer` when configuring the printer in CUPS.
+* ***After configuring your printer, you need to close the web browser for at least 60 seconds. CUPS will not write the config files until it detects the connection is closed for as long as a minute.***
