It does require binary, non-free blobs from Brother, which I am admittedly unhappy with, but once these are installed, the printer (I've never really used the scanner functionality) just works (via CUPS) - reliably, consistently, rarely jamming or exhibiting any other sort of malfunction. And third party toner replacement is famously very cheap for Brother models, although quality can reportedly vary widely. Celejar
