Can I pick your brains a little here?
I'm on my [second] printer, that was *quote* Linux compatible, but well...you know how that all goes. Forget about the scanner!
My official source for hardware (Newegg...bless 'em) says that the combo unit you've listed is Mac and Windows friendly. Nothing 'bout Linux. Seeing just that, I would not be further tempted to purchase it. Your experience, however, intrigues me enough to seek more info.
May I impose on you to narrate very briefly what your experience was inducing Linux to 'get nice' with the BROTHER machine? (BTW, would I to make this purchase, it would be running thru Mandrake 10.1, where ever that may mesh with your own experience).
Thanks in advance for your help.
