I have brother DCP-340CW (uses the same drivers as the other DCP and the MCF mentioned by others). It's great, but if you are going to fill the cartridges yourself I wouldn't do it more than once or twice (if at all)- it's too easy to get air in the system and the print head doesn't like it. We've had 2 go because if it. Replacement print heads are more expensive than the printer itself, but if you buy broken printers off ebay and take the heads out of them then it's not so bad. Network scanning and printing work well with Linux (though Brother has made a bit of a mess of the setup- it's fine if you use RPMs or DEBs, but if you have to take them apart it's not nice. I keep meaning to build all the drivers and submit them to CUPS and SANE so we don't have to download them from Brother). -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG http://mailman.dclug.org.uk/listinfo/list FAQ: http://www.dcglug.org.uk/linux_adm/list-faq.html
