[Novalug] Brother Printers

> Subject: [Novalug] Brother Printer Issues
> Last month bought a Brother MFC-5490CN from Microcenter.  Supposedly this printer has full Linux support.

I have been using the Brother HL-4040CDN Color Laser Printer in a LAN
environment that services Linux, OSX and Windows7. The printer I'm
using has worked flawlessly and I'm extremely pleased with the print
quality, print speed, features, support, ROI etc...

I bought this printer because I too became absolutely sick and tired
of inkjet printer after inkjet printer of all brands -- being a
worthless piece of junk and not printing properly. EPSON was my
nemesis in particular. I have had bad experiences with Canon, HP,
Epson, Dell and Lexmark. I admit I have not owned a Brother inkjet
model.

I just wanted to say that I wouldn't write Brother off as a printer
brand, as all the brands seem to have the same problems in certain
inkjet models. The "All-in-one" crap hasn't helped either. But
overall, I think Brother is one of the better printer manufacturers,
and as laser printers are down around the $300~ mark, I would suggest
examining moving from inkjet to laser if your budget allows it. I made
this investment and I am extremely pleased with the resulting printing
improvements I have enjoyed as a result of taking this step.

"Every truth passes through three stages before it is recognized: In
the first it is ridiculed, in the second it is opposed, in the third
it is regarded as self-evident" --Arthur Schopenhauer (German
Philosopher, 1788-1860)

"An avidity to punish is always dangerous to liberty. It leads men to
stretch, to misinterpret and to misapply even the best of laws. He
that would make his own liberty secure, must guard even his enemy from
oppression; for if he violates this duty, he establishes a precedent
that will reach himself." --Thomas Paine , 1795
