Comments
Plug and Print. Flawless.
1200x600 mode requires a different driver. I can't tell the difference when using 600x600.
Supports Parallel, USB, and Ethernet out of the box.
Comes with 4MB of RAM upgradable to 36MB with a single 72-pin SIMM.
Emulates PCL6 and Level 2 Postscript.
Brother publishes proprietary Linux drivers for CUPS and LPD for
most of their laser printers and multi-function devices, including
SANE drivers for the scanners. They can be downloaded free of
charge on their Linux driver
page.
