Success with Brother MFC-L2710DW 4 in 1

[John R. Sowden]

I just bought a Brother printer (good deal: Wireless, prints both sides, 
separate drum/toner, feeds
envelopes, reasonable price (toner/drum/printer).  Before I bought it I 
saw references to Linux
on the Brother site, but I didn't read them.  I have 13 days left in my 
15 day return time at Staples.

Unfortunately I have not seen clear setup instructions and signs of 
success.  I have downloaded
the Brother software, but installing it is not clear (lots of caveats).  
Brother does not provide
phone support for Linux set-ups, per their site.

Anyone have any feedback?
