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?
I have a Brother HL-L2380DW that has been going strong for years. I love it. I can’t remember, but I think Linux Mint just picked it up no problem, and added it to the printers. In the past, I do remember installing drivers from Brother, but I’ve recently done some clean installs and I want to say I didn’t have to do all that. My memory is foggy, though.
