HL-1660e
Miscellaneous
Printer supports direct text printing with the 'us-ascii' charset.
Comments
They advertise 1200x600 but this is only with the Windows DIB emulation. Even at 600x600 produces crisp, readable 9-up output.
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.
