I have never pulled in the CUPSwrapper driver, and have never had a problem with the printer. >> Some features may require that you've connected the printer via USB (I >> have a MFC-L8860CDW connected to the network that "loses" a lot of the >> "from the PC" functionality due to that). > > MFC-L8860CDW?

There are also a couple of "on the printer" options that require a windows compter (although, thinking about it, those may be more like "scan to SMB share"). But scan-to-pdf is perfectly acceptable for my scanning needs. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQEzBAEBCAAdFiEEBcqaUD8uEzVNxUrujhHd8xJ5ooEFAlzR0Q4ACgkQjhHd8xJ5 ooFSyQf+NgbwqvT+CttRaKmZxafKXHWHIREiWIldZeFxeT6UnWDBDU2EC1SmhUrV aNiAZYbyalTPRnzRM+elMy0r5xFCSYg7edyA02Cg+krpqEfRZ5ML5Dy1jAefLKLd yAzM5LyhmghMIHTzZYEdNrtM4OKCBQWm5wf98HYyA2ILdTY1fROYngx7Z6Rg0x/n eaai+BSEfHfyWlqhRXs17sfBFRFPPNxyXD3eCougohNC445IDucF8b7zDPNML0/Q utJrduUdZ7HItw3avBcpOCOordBoPLz/CTGYHb/e3jIskuNf9DfeaG0EId2uVdby GaCJdj5mDaOPa3//qse5PxrYrJIclQ== =0Mk+ -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- |_|O|_| |_|_|O| Github: https://github.com/dpurgert |O|O|O| PGP: 05CA 9A50 3F2E 1335 4DC5 4AEE 8E11 DDF3 1279 A281
