No, I didn't check. 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.
