My partner and I are thinking about getting a Brother laser printer for home use in the near future. How difficult is it to get a newer model working in a Linux ecosystem? Are there any specific drivers we should look into installing, if a specific driver isn’t available for the model we end up getting? Any advice for connecting it to our network?

EDIT: Thank you all for the feedback! It seems that generally you all have had decent experiences with Brother on Linux, depending on the distro, and that there are resources out there to help with any issues that might come up.

    I have linux mint. It just instantly finds my brother printer on install, as soon as it connects to my network

    I have an L2340dw model. Nothing new and fancy. But its been rock solid for almost 10 years now. Cost me 100 euros.
