O Brother, Where Art Thou? (Printer Edition)

▤ Summary

While most of my server machines are Linux and I am daily driving Ubuntu on my laptop, I still use Windows for some things. I first went to the Brother website and surprisingly they provide Linux drivers for something thats now ancient device. Secondly, you need the following packages (and yes, Im not downloading fax drivers): Thirdly, we need a few extra packets as a prerequisite. For printer, we need both LPR and CUPS drivers: For scanner, steps are even simpler: If all went ok, you should be able to print and scan now. PS: Huge props to Brother for providing Linux drivers for pretty much all their devices.
