[clug] MFP Printers

[Rodney Peters]

I like the colour laser technology in the Fuji Xerox cm305df, but have a less 
expensive Brother 9120CN (now superceded by 9125CN model, I believe)  All are 
Postscript.

Brother support Linux well, although you need to download the drivers and run 
a script to install & configure same.  Network scanning just works with the 
Brothers, but not with many models of most other brands.
