I recently bought a Brother 5250DN second-hand for 60 ukp, which was in like-new condition. It has both networking and postscript capabilities. I first used the (quite old) driver for this model available on the Brother site. It worked well at first but then large images came out distorted, with an error message. Following a comment on the net I tried the pxlmono driver and that is working well. -- Anthony Campbell - a...@acampbell.org.uk http://www.acupuncturecourse.org.uk http://www.smashwords.com/profile.view/acampbell https://itunes.apple.com/ca/artist/anthony-campbell/id73235412 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
