Re: [LUG] Ethernet connected photo quality printer - advice please

 

I have a brother dcp 310cn printer, this has

network capability,  and USB i am not sure if it queues the job though, 
it may do
Brother supply drives for both the printer and scanner
it can read sd cards
separate ink tanks
There are later models, now so these should be better,  i have had good 
results printing full page a4 photos out,  which is good.


With the printer i have it plugged in to my router with a static IP 
address, so set up clients to send jobs to the specific ip address on 
the network,  i have now got both my main comptuers and my laptop able 
to print, which is handy.


hope this helps
