Janina,
I should have read all new mail. Usually I do. (smiles) While adding
my Epson in Windows, it brought up a list of almost 400 models. Good
grief. And my model was not included. Solved that with a driver
installation. The Mac was much easier.
I think now that the printer is connected to the router I should try
sending print jobs from my iPhone. Just in case I need to print text
messages or emails for Judge Judy. She loves that. :)
I will be looking at these printers and decide what I want and save
pennies. Appreciate your input.

Hi, E.T.
I have no reason to think Brother has broken the accessibility of their
user interfaces, though I could be wrong, of course. The HP models
others have mentioned in this thread also sounds interesting.
Here's what I know from personal experience about HP. They build lots of
printers, many models. Some of them are wonderful. Others are dogs.
Moral of the story is that I cannot swear that every Brother model will
be accessible, so protect your ability to return for a refund--just in
case, even if there's some kind of restocking fee.
I hear you about limited funds. I've been there, my friend! <grin>
I can tell you that I can access all configuration functions on my printer via
browser, even an ancient
browser like Lynx. However, I have been unable to get scanning to work
via the network connection, though I haven't tried very hard because I
have another scanner closer to where I sit in my office. The printer is
where my sighted assistant sits when she's here.
I expect that connecting to the device via USB would make scanning
trivial, but I particularly want it network connected as I sometimes
send print jobs to it from afar. I particularly like that it supports IPv6,
because that makes it easy for me to access it securely from afar. You may not
be
into IPv6 yet. However, rather than define NAT for it, should you have
this need, I would suggest checking out IPv6 instead. Apple, Microsoft,
Linux, Android all support it very well these days, so it's only a
question of whether you can get IPv6 from your Internet service
provider.
My model was classified as a "small workgroup multi function device." In
the early days of owning it, the default drivers didn't work with it,
but the driver for the next, slightly larger Brother worked just fine,
including for printing graphics. That issue has been fixed for some time
now, though.
Best,
Janina

Janina,
You need more Brothers? Heh. 10 years on an open box, not bad at all. You
think new ones are just s good these days? A monochrome laser is 129 bucks.
I cannot do impulse buying so will be looking into these.

Yours truly is on her second Brother multi function device in the last
decade plus. Should my current printer/copier/scanner/fax die, I'm quite
certain I'll just get another Brother.
Fax? Who uses fax anymore! <grin> Mine isn't hooked up, but the machine
does support fax. It's all the same technology after all.
PS: Mine is the model 9840DW. I got it from Newegg about 10 years ago as
an open box resale for $150. In the early days I had some issues with
Linux drivers, but no longer. I've never had issues on Macintosh or
Windows with this machine, and it works with my Android just as well.
It's a network printer, so I share it out on my network via my OpenWRT
router.
Best,
Janina

Would like recommendations for a printer/scanner that uses an accessible
