This surprises me. I have always thought that Brother printers did not
work well with Linux. Or is that all in the past?
Neil
First I've heard.
Most Lasers if not natively supported can act and appear like an HP
Laserjet, the HL-2250DN is supported by Linux out of the box, I didn't
even download a custom driver, although the Brother website does provide
ones for download (rpm & deb).
Obviously, check with the manufacturer that Linux is supported, don't
blindly buy something and try and get it to work.
