Edited Notes

Color laser printer, A4/Letter (Legal in optional tray), PCL 5c, PCL 6, PostScript Level 3, 6 ppm colour, 24 ppm grayscale. 10/100 MBit ethernet connection.

Best results are probably obtained when the printer is used in PostScript mode with a PPD file from the printer's driver CD.

Brother publishes proprietary Linux drivers for CUPS and LPD for most of their laser printers and multi-function devices, including SANE drivers for the scanners. They can be downloaded free of charge on their Linux driver page.
