Tom I've been looking for new printer and since both the brother's printers my wife had I'd consider Brother for my Linux systems. Did you resolve the problem of the busy signal? Also when you downloaded the Brother software did it include Scanner software? Sane does not appear to have a scanner driver for this printer and I need to be able to scan.
Thanks

This is a fairly new printer and I couldn't find it on the HCL so am asking here.
Thanks, Tom
Thanks to both Mike and Dirk for the responses.
Got the printer and installed the drivers per the Brother site. Configured with cups via Yast2. It found the drivers and printed a test page which looks great. That was last night. Today, after working on a network problem my wife was having, I tried to print several pages. Cups is returning a busy signal. Haven't had time to trace that down yet.
Fortunately I also have a Brother HL-1440 laser printer (really old but works fine) to print for now.

Hi Russ ;) Brother has a scanner driver but it is a separate downloads (same for fax driver). I haven't gotten the scanner to work yet. Yast2 sees the scanner but doesn't find the driver so far. Haven't been able to spend much time with it due to some medical problems in the family.
