Even then it doesn't work with a program that does not offer an "LPR" print option. The fact that it works under Windows is not surprising. Printing under Windows "just works". There is a movement towards that goal now in progress for now-Windows based systems. See for further details. Brother does supply print drivers for Linux; however (and I have checked), they have no intention of writing ones for other operating systems. I have spend some time trying to port those drivers to BSD; however, I just don't have the necessary time required to complete the project. This is where a "paid" entity or organization to accomplish such a task would be of immeasurable use. -- Jerry ♔ Disclaimer: off-list followups get on-list replies or get ignored.
