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
