Supplies are far cheaper than HP or whatever, my MFC-8810DW sits on my LAN (via ethernet although it has wifi too) and lets everything in the house print to it, and it can scan to a SMB file server without needing any special software, just push a few buttons on the printer, it scans either flatbed or sheet fed (single or double sided) and a PDF appears on the file share a few seconds later. Brother supports both LPR and CUPS. -- -john r pierce recycling used bits in santa cruz
