I'm heavy Brother equipment user, had few Brother printers and was looking at the model you mentioned above to replace my 10-year old HL-5250DN |
| 53 |
|
| 54 |
HL-L2320D - it seems to me might be too expensive toner wise so I selected HL-L5200DW instead. |
| 55 |
|
| 56 |
When it comes to printer driver, they have improved a bit but in gentoo you will will have to do extra work. |
