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?
EDIT: Thank you all for the feedback! It seems that generally you all have had decent experiences with Brother on Linux, depending on the distro, and that there are resources out there to help with any issues that might come up.
While the Linux integration wasn’t a huge deal for me I just wanted to add one point: Be aware of the fine dust situation laser printer create and why some people are having issues. For home use a inkjet is sometimes preferrable if one can’t position it right (as we often can’t at home)
Sadly at least in the last test I read Brother was one of the worst offenders together with HP.
(I still have one but keep it in my office away from the living areas)
