Anyone here got a Brother printer? And if so what model?

I have a Brother MFC 7420. Yet, it's not connected to my
Gentoo but to a FreeBSD box. There, I completely ignored the
recommended drivers. I configured lpd (/etc/printcap) to
first pipe the PostScript/PDF documents through a
Ghostscript command. The only real problem was to find the
proper device driver (ljet2p).
gs -q -dBATCH -dPARANOIDSAFER -dQUIET -dNOPAUSE -sDEVICE=ljet2p -r600 -sOutputFile=- -
Then I wrap around this a simple self-written PJL frame.
For about 8 years, though not printing too much, I never had
any problem.
You can have my PJL generator if you want (It's in Ruby).

If you do something like this, you may find noqp interesting:
https://github.com/nobrowser/noqp
IIRC there are other similar programs as well - writing noqp was
definitely motivated by NIH to a fairly large degree :-)

I’m running two brother printers with “upstream“ drivers, ebuilds copied from
brother overlay and modified regarding my needs. The drivers are binary 32bit
ones for x86/i686 .deb or .rpm (in my case the rpm ones), so you *definitely*
would need to migrate to an multilib profile - and I don’t know how awful this
would become.

You can change your profile one *without* the term "no-multilib".
But to be honest the suggestion by Betram looks most appealing to me (and I
consider even migrating my stuff to this one!).

I try and this make me more pain. I stopped. GCC, GLIBC and sandbox not
want compile. Something with blabla.32.h is missing. I find nothing in
documentation how can switch or im blind. (i wear classes :)
The question is, give printer (Scanner, FAX and Printer Combination) which work
under native x86_64 or all will not work? I try tomorrow with HP from my dad,
when will work I think I buy new device. After 7 Years this will be ok.
I read little in Web and what I understand is that HP Devices work easy and
without any problems. Is it true? I prefer Brother, but what not want that
not want.

I believe going from nomultilib to multilib is not officially supported.
I'm on this thread a little late, but does CUPS not work? Every printer
I've set up on a linux box (only a handful, to be fair) has worked out
of the box without extra drivers.

About a year ago, I did some reading on that topic and found an
unofficial step-by-step guide on how to do it. After reading through
the procedure it a couple times, I decided that backing up my /home
partition and then reinstalling from scratch would be faster and
easier.
