Godfrey,

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

HP are ok Brother not ok
