Brother MFC-9500
 
Black & White laser printer, max. 600x600 dpi, works Partially
Recommended Driver: ljet2p (Home page, View PPD, directly download PPD)
Generic Instructions: CUPS, no spooler
 

Comments

Reported by Thoralf Klein to work at 300 and 600 dpi with the ljet2p driver. He says it's very slow. Ghostscript-generated PCL often causes memory overruns at 600dpi.
Miltifunction device: fax, copier, scanner, etc. Most of the multifunction features don't work.

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.
