I have the HL5240 that I bought almost a year ago. Very nice and I'm
very pleased with its performance. I have it hooked to a parallel port
on my Gigafast network switch. It took a bit of doing to get
configured just right, but once I found the PPD buried on Brother's
website and installed it into CUPS, it prints perfectly. I am very
satisfied.
