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.
In my experience, Brother printers have been the best. Litterally just Plug 'n play. I got a cheaper laser printer from them that only connects via USB, but I had no issue in setting it up with a raspberry pi running CUPS to get network-wide access that all my devices automatically recognise with no need for any manual setup by end users.
