Brother's Linux Drivers download page can be found here: http://solutions.brother.com/linux/index.html. Installing the printer was a snap. Much easier than it was under Windows thanks to a detailed CUPS howto ( http://solutions.brother.com/Library/sol/printer/linux/cups_gdi_install.htm). Their customer support gets two thumbs up, too. The new printer arrived with two broken parts. Replacements were shipped quickly and without hassle. At no time did I have to apologize for using Linux, as is often the case with other OEMs. I strongly recommend this company and their products. Very Linux friendly.
