I said "most common" - I could even be wrong about that, but it's a pretty
safe bet

No, you didn't actually say that... at least not in this branch of this
thread.

I don't have _anything_ against Brother - I merely pointed out (I'm certain,
correctly) that requiring a --force option to do an install is sloppy and
potentially hazardous.  The fact that it _does_ break things doesn't mean
that you're guaranteed to have problems, but you want to think at least
three or four times before you do it.

You said it was "the best" Linux support.  Given that HP actually
open-sources its printer support, and it's available in the Ubuntu repos, I
just have a little doubt about that claim.  If you indulge in hyperbole,
expect people to call you on it.
