But the brand/model is useful information, since it is conceivable their printer doesn't work with Linux. I recently inherited an all-in-one Brother something, and printing works fine (as long as there is ink detected in every cartridge), but the scanner portion does not work with Linux. -- Russell Senior [email protected] _______________________________________________ PLUG: https://pdxlinux.org PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
