The Brother printers I've used support PostScript, but they didn't pay the licensing so it's called "BR Script". Typical stuff works, but I have run into issues with exotic stuff like papertray selections (namely, you can't specify that part of a print job should be from one tray and part from another). My wife prints *a lot* and we've run several of those Brother printers into the ground. I currently have a HLL6200DW, one of the consumables: "DR820 Drum Unit, Yields approx 30,000 pages". By the time the *second* drum runs out, I found replacing the whole printer seemed much cheaper than buying the additional parts it needed. We started with the (then) HL-L2315DW equivilent a bunch of years ago. Reliable, easy to set up for Linux/Windows/Mac, automatic duplexing, quiet. But that was not up to the challenge of how much we print. Elijah ------ does the toner cartridge reset too (youtube has videos)
