Yes they’re great for low volume printing and the Linux support is great too.

Newer models track the number of printed pages and nag to replace the toner. You can instead reset the page counter and continue printing. Exact steps vary by model but easily found online.



I'm sorry, but that's just not true, at least not in general. For many models, the Linux support is mediocre-to-none.


I've had three different models of Brother laser printers, Linux support has been good with each one.

If some reads this and is worried about it, just search reviews for the model number and Linux.


My luck must be better than. I’ve had no issues with the L2700 series.
