Does anyone here use a Brother - HL-L3270CDW Wireless Color Laser Printer on Linux?


If so, how well does it work, especially over Ethernet, and did you have to jump through any hoops to get get to work?

I don't own your particular model but I typically use Brother printers, they are always wired and work well. There are linux drivers you can download but I would guess that yours complies with IPP everywhere and that Mint should automatically detect the printer so no hoops or anything to jump through.

Just install the toner cartridge, plug in the ethernet cable and power on the printer. The printer is already configured for DHCP . Mint uses avahi which should automatically scan for devices
