I have a Brother MFC-7360N and an HL-C3290CDW. Both have ethernet, but the
driver packages from Brother only supply Linux, MacOS and Windows binaries to
drive them. This appears to be common across all printer makers. It's a
significant obstacle to maintaining OI as a desktop system and a major barrier
to adoption. Not that I am deluded enough to think OI is growing. But if we
don't replace those who pass on, OI will die like so many others. Replaced by
marketshare and old age.
I've never had a reason to play with containers and zones, but my understanding
is that one should be able to create a Linux print server instance into which
the appropriate drivers can be installed such that normal system boot brings it
up to service the printer.
Is my understanding of the Linux branded zone/container concept correct?
