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?

    Wow. Thanks. Didn’t knew that. I tried for hours but could only find a manual installation guide for the property drivers that dint work . Will try this out

      No prob.

      In my opinion always check the arch wiki if you’re having problems, even if you’re not running Arch, it’s a gobsmackingly good repository of linux knowledge

        I did but I only found a different article that is related to that issue but straight up doesn’t work for this printer

        Oh, and it’s in German and hasn’t been updated in a few years
