Probably an MFC-7420, like mine, or possibly one of it's "big brothers." They have cups, lpd, and sane drivers available for x86 linux, but no support for other arches (including x86_64) last time I checked. They do have a separate cups driver that allows faxing from your desktop. As I'm on x86_64 and don't need a scanner much, I looked for other cups drivers that were available from portage and found the Brother MFC-9600 Foomatic/hl1250' driver worked fine for simple printing. FWIW, I think Brother wants to be linux friendly, but haven't (for whatever reason) but a lot of effort behind it. -- "If there's one thing we've established over the years, it's that the vast majority of our users don't have the slightest clue what's best for them in terms of package stability." -- Gentoo Developer Ciaran McCreesh
