Joe:
Thanks for the info.
Do you know if anyone has filed a Bugzilla against this problem?
I was digging around on the Brother web site last night, after reading
your mail, and couldn't find any mention of Linux. They certainly used
to have Linux drivers, but I couldn't find anything. Do you suppose
they've backslid on their Linux commitment? or is it hiding somewhere
else?
Once again, thanks for replying!
Fred
