Gregory's Server@aran @ifixcoinops I didn't realise at the time that Brother's IPP Everywhere works so good and I didn't want to bother with CUPS ;-)
The scan part of the Brother app actually uses the MFP, it's not a camera based document scanner.

@aran @ifixcoinops No, on Linux. I don't let CUPS scan automatically for other printers because I would see dozens of printers in our office. And yes, when I finally decided to take the time and configure it this took only a few clicks, thanks to IPP Everywhere ;-) Perfectly fair point 👍 Honestly, I let my Twitter instincts have the best of me. I assumed this was the usual contrarian post you get on the birdsite, instead you raise some a very interesting point. Not only Brother had remain the classic bedrock of reliability, they have built upon it when innovating, providing useful additions where we would expect enshittification (like in the app space) Gotta. Love. Mastodon. |
@cybso @ifixcoinops In other words, the app saved you set-up time set up on a Mac? Because on Win and Linux I don't even need to set up drivers for my Brother printer, it just appears on the network and works...
