My partner and I are thinking about getting a Brother laser printer for home use in the near future. How difficult is it to get a newer model working in a Linux ecosystem? Are there any specific drivers we should look into installing, if a specific driver isn’t available for the model we end up getting? Any advice for connecting it to our network?
Checkout the Open Source brlaser driver and the list of printers it supports. I have a MFC–L2712DW and it works amazingly out of the box.
