Sewing machines, I know nothing, not Brother machines anyway.
We've had a few different Brother laser printers here (at home) and
they've been great.
The first one, a HL2070N, when first connected (via USB at that time)
caused a popup window (On Centos, probably 5.x) saying brother printer
found, do I want to configure it now? I did, and it just worked.
Newer ones may require Brother's drivers, but they exist and work.
My newer HL-L2360D also works with one of the default CUPS drivers
on C7, though I forget which one. Discovered this only after using
the Brother drivers for a year or two.
