Brother printers - awesome linux support!

I mostly work on linux/BSD boxes so I've been looking for a printer with decent support for linux. HP installed like 2 gigs worth of software .. 2 gigs?! I shudder to think what all it did install. Both Epson and Canon didn't have any support for linux from what I could tell. I could try and buy one and see if the built-in drivers that come with linux support them but then I came across the solution - Brother.

Decently priced all-in-one printers with awesome support for Linux:

and they work as advertised. Scanner, fax, printer - all work under Linux .. installed without a hitch. amazing!

So if you're a linux user looking for a decent printer - I would highly recommend Brother!
