In short: unless you find someone who claims to have your exact model of printer and that it works in your exact distribution of Linux, you won't know until you hook it up and try it.I do my best to avoid having to deal with printing in Linux (in fact usually I skip it altogether and literally reboot into Windows just to print something -- no joke), but it's been my experience that it's a) almost always a nightmare, and b) is usually a very picky nightmare.The problem is that manufacturers don't really give a fuck about Linux because it has an almost meaningless share of the PC market. There's very little profit in it for most products; just because Brother doesn't have a Linux driver for it doesn't necessarily mean it won't work. Just means if it does, it's no thanks to the company. You basically have to rely on random devs writing drivers for their own printers (not that you always get poor quality software that way, mind you). Basically: try using CUPS (Common Unix Printing System I think). If it doesn't print and Brother doesn't have an official Linux driver... well, you can always do what I do: say "fuck it" and just boot into Windows to do it :P
