One thing,, if you go with a Brother multifunction unit, be sure to
download the driver insstaller, NOT the individual driver files. You
may have to dig around to find the right file, but it exists and
works once you find it.

If the printer has an installation disk my experience has been that the more Linux friendly like HP or Brother will usually have a Linux install directory on the disk. While the disk will not auto load and install a read me file will normally have the instructions with the needed files for that particular model; and, in some cases troubleshooting. Worth a look, esp if the Penguin is on the box. Caveat, it has been awhile since I dealt with one.
