Printer Question

[Barry Premeaux]

Thank you.  Appreciate the input.  I was opting to go with Brother because
of their Linux support.  The 875 also offers up wireless connectivity which
is going to make it a whole lot easier to print from the laptop or my
phone.  That will be a really nice change.
