I had a different experience with Samsung printers. I bought one model and it had a big bold letters that it works with Linux. When I try to install printer driver, it was impossible. It came with some kind of script the relied on an old/obsolete library so it was impossible to install it. On Fedora, script installs brother printer base on Brother source web-page driver, it works perfectly. On Gentoo it is a manual/painful setup if you doing it the first time. Thelma
