Edited Notes

Essentially a LaserJet II with 512K RAM. I put in an extra 2MB module so I could print full-page 300dpi, otherwise you can only do 150dpi. (Addition by tpo2:) The printer doesn't really work without mem-extension here. It does print out -some- pages, but not f.ex. pages with (small) images in it, multiple pages on on sheet (mpage -2) etc., even with 150dpi. (anybody with mem-extensions to give away can contact me at tpo2@spin.ch)

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.

Consumables/Refills: toner (same as LaserJet II)
