Printer

[Doooh Head]

I currently have two different printers working under Ubuntu.  

An old Lexmark z22, which I had to do nothing to/for to get it to work with a USB connection.  I have shared it and it works through CUPS just fine.  

My other printer is a Brother MFC-XXXX.  I have the printing and scanning features of it working flawlessly as well as it being a "network enabled" printer.  With it though you must follow the Brother install instructions.  It too works through CUPS.
