The printer should work "driverless". For the scanner, sane-airscan lists this model as explicitly tested: https://github.com/alexpevzner/sane-airscan. I use that for a MFC-L2710DW. sane-airscan will be in the next debian stable release, but you can install it on current stable following the instructions in the README there. I had the proprietary brscan installed for a while, which left a bad taste in the mouth. I switched to airscan the moment I heard about it. > I found out during the recent travail that Brother doesn't support Linux. > They do provide drivers, such as they are, at https://support.brother.com/g/b/downloadlist.aspx?c=us&lang=en&prod=dcpl2550dw_us&os=128 > I'm quite pleased with the printer.
