Unless you are using portage to install the Brother drivers, I don't |
| 36 |
think that setting will matter. Emerge takes note of settings there |
| 37 |
when it is about to build packages. If you install a package by hand, |
| 38 |
outside portage, it won't likely matter. |

I might add this for future reference. Before buying equipment, make |
| 41 |
sure it works with Linux, the distro you use for sure. Some brands work |
| 42 |
pretty easy but has some models that don't. HP for example generally |
| 43 |
works however, I've seen certain models that have something unique about |
| 44 |
them that causes them to not work at all or only certain limited |
| 45 |
functions. In my experience Lexmark is one that I have never got to |
| 46 |
work, any model. I avoid Lexmark like it's a disease. Scanners are in |
| 47 |
the same boat as printers, since some have both built in. |
| 48 |
|
| 49 |
I've seen on this list where some seem to have got Brother to work. |
| 50 |
Maybe a search of past threads would shed some light. They might have |
| 51 |
some tiny snippet that helps get you on the road to success. |
