Brother pretty much rely on x86/x86_64 binary drivers for printing and
scanning. That might be a problem for you if you're not running x86 systems.

I find it easier to scan to my AIO's SD card (I have an Epson WorkForce
WF-7520 large format inkjet) which appears on the network as a Samba
share. While there are scanner drivers for SANE for this, they're not
very smart: duplex pages, for instance, appear upside down. The PDFs
retrieved from the network share are all right-way-up.

I've found the duplex scanning and network storage very handy, and
if/when I have to replace the Epson, they'll be high on the list.

It's at times like this I wish that the Linux Printing Database still
worked. It's got lots of broken links since it joined the L*n*x
F**nd*t**n (name redacted to prevent certain list-members from exploding).

cheers,
 Stewart
