I had a cheap Brother laser not so long ago. The HL 1112. It was on offer for ~£40, which is bottom of the barrel for a laser. Anyway, I got it functioning with CUPS in lubuntu but then the cartridge ran out prematurely and the cheap replacement cartridge I got from Amazon caused the printer to start groaning and the motor to stall. The printer and unused cartridges went the way of Beeston recycling centre when I moved. <div><br /></div><div>I think the CUPS driver I used was a generic workaround, but it did work for a few prints (Bitcoin paper wallets) before mechanical failure. </div><div><br /></div><div>This has ended up more a warning against stupidly cheap lasers. :) </div><div><br /></div><div>Neal. <br /><br /><br />4.

I don't recommend any Brother printers - they don't recognise any Linux USB device you plug<br />
in - all Windows. The DCP range of printers are a pain in the arse - even though Brother<br />
provide wireless drivers for Linux - LUbuntu - hmmm.......... your Brother will not connect<br />
to your router.<br />
<br />
HP are ok Brother not ok<br />
