I’m more of a casual/newbie Linux user and I want to know if a specific Brother model is compatible with it. For reference, it’s the HL-L2465DW monochrome laser printer.

    You probably won’t need their proprietary drivers, it’ll probably just autodetect and work with CUPS without even setting it up, like my Brother DCP-L2540DW does.

      The monochrome and newer color Brother printers usually work fine without installing any drivers. If it supports IPP Everywhere, it will definitely work fine. It’s the older color printers that usually need the proprietary driver for full support.
