No problems with Brother and Linux?
Anyone have any problems with other
brands and Linux?  I'm leery of Canon.
Good products, but they've been what
I'll call Linux unfriendly in the past, refusing
to provide information for drivers.

I guess I would prefer an inkjet unit - fumes
and all are a minor worry with the laser units -
but they seem hard to come by.
