None with Trixie. With Bookworm I had to set the system print default to duplex to get duplex to work. CUPS supports it as "driverless". Oddly, I think it took a system restart of each computer for printing to work and after that, no issues. I'll have had it six weeks this coming Wednesday and it shows that 249 pages have been printed. It's not going to be used much more than that, so I suspect the initial toner will last for some time although it is reporting the CMY cartridges are at 90% and black at 100%. Of that page count only 4 were B&W. - Nate -- "The optimist proclaims that we live in the best of all possible worlds. The pessimist fears this is true."
