Hello,

I've mostly had HP printers over the years.
I have a HP officejet 8500 that is just cannot not do
everything I need. I have googled for hours
and only found what I like, in a Brother printer
(Brother MFC-J6710DW Inkjet All-in-One Printer)

I have never owned a brother printers....so

1. Does it work well with CUPS/linux?
2. Are they reliable for a small workgroup?
3. Are the color cartridges reasonable priced?

Here is what my needs are:

dual trays (letter size and 11"x 17")
prints envelops easily (#10 mostly)
dual sided printing
color

less than 500.00 and reliable for small quantity.


Any suggestions? It must work well with Cups over ethernet
as well as with winblows (7 and 8).....

thoughts?

James
