I've had to fight with the Linux drivers of a ~15 years old Brother printer. It's a great device otherwise and to be fair that they publish proprietary drivers for Linux that still work in any way is not bad.
The newer models support AirPrint/IPP everywhere and AirScan (whatever protocol sits behind that) and just work without any extra drivers.
Can't really complain about much. It prints. It scans. It probably also faxes. Never had any stuck paper, replacement ink is reasonably cheap.
How cool that printers like this still exist!
- yftsui 4y agoThe only catch is if you want to scan at 1200 PPI, the only option I found is a windows laptop with all the brother software installed. On Mac with/without the driver stuff, it is limited to scan at 600PPI.
