So now I'm thinking of replacing the old HP B Laserjet 1022 with one that will do double sided printing and has network connections.? The HP does not do double side and is not network ready. It is connected via a Raspberry Pi Zero which works from the laptop _most _times but will not connect reliably to the desktop or tablet.? Yesterday took 30mins to get it to print, in the end sent it to the laptop and eventually got a print - not reliable enough and my wife goes barmy trying to print! Looking at the Brother MFC-L2710D, it appears to be OK for both printing & scanning, I only need mono printing as that's the main use. Any comments please; before I order one?? Vicking seem to be reasonable price and give quick delivery.? Curry's not in stock when I looked. Can thoroughly recommend Brother printers. I have an HL-L2360DN (laser) and a DCP-J562DW (colour/scanner). These are several years old but perform reliably over wi-fi. Brother support for drivers is excellent.

Clive, It's not what you want because it's colour, but my HLL3230CDW laser printer works well, apart from having to wake it up to get it to work with Chromium. If I save the file as PDF it prints fine from Okula. -- Terry Coles -- Next meeting: Online, Jitsi, Tuesday, 2023-07-04 20:00 Check to whom you are replying Meetings, mailing list, IRC, ... http://dorset.lug.org.uk New thread, don't hijack: mailto:dorset@mailman.lug.org.uk
Re: [Dorset] Brother printer on Mint 21.1
I have a Brother HL-1210 Laser printer connected via Wifi and it has worked reliably for a good few years now. I also use the brother iprint app on my tablet to print to it. I seem to remember having to update the driver from the Brother website when I first installed it.
