One comment about Brother... My mother uses Linux Mint and has a
Brother MFC-J870DW All-in-One over USB. My complaint about the
MFC-J870DW is, it only supplies a 32-bit driver. So we have to run the
i386 multiarch gear on her 64-bit machine.

The MFC-J870DW is the only thing stopping me from:

    sudo apt-get purge $(dpkg --get-selections | grep ":i386" | awk
'{print $1}')
    sudo dpkg --remove-architecture i386

In the past we tried to set up the MFC-J870DW without the Brother
driver. It never worked that way, so we had to install the driver. I
suspect the problems had to do with the All-in-One connected directly
to the machine via USB.
