I had an earlier Brother unit for years before it finally gave up the ghost and I got an updated one (didn't even notice it does double-sided printing until it worked :-). Any modern scanner should support DNS-SD via Avahi on Linux. Even more so because Microsoft has announced that they will no longer ship manufacturer device drivers for printers and scanners, so the market is being pushed into standardising. I don't know if some special use-cases might require a device-specific driver, but I don't personally care. As regards toner compatibility, Amazon has a number of brands that work. I tend to get special offers of 2 at a time. poc -- _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Do not reply to spam, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue
