I have an opportunity to pick up a Brother MFC-8890DW printer at a fantastic price. There is a Linux driver for CUPS available at: <http://welcome.solutions.brother.com/bsc/public_s/id/linux/en/instruction_prn1c.html>; This is obviously not a high end unit; however, I feel I could probably get fair results out of it. It is not a "color" printer so it will only be used for normal b/w documents. I plan to hook it up to my router using a wireless setup on my home network. I am not worried about my Windows machines since it will obviously work; however, I want to know it this printer works as designed with FreeBSD. I doubt that the FAX function would be used at all via FreeBSD, if it is used at all. I have a dedicated FAX. However, the copy and scan functions would be important. -- Jerry ✌ jerry+fbsd@seibercom.net Disclaimer: off-list followups get on-list replies or ignored. Do not CC this poster.
