Oh, that's interesting. I made the dumb mistake last year of getting a
Brother MFC (cant remember the model no.) and although Brother do
provide Linux drivers on their site they are only for i386 Linuxes. So
I could not get Cups set up with this printer as I am running an
x86-64 box. Will have to do some searching around for "wine cups" -
may have to do a bit of filtering the result B-)
