Brother printers are pretty miserable. I'm on bazzite and no joke, there is a solid 10 minute delay from when I hit the print button to when it prints. It used to scan, then stopped one day with not explanation. Ive use the same printer on the same version/release of fedora on my laptop and it works fine now but it didn't when it worked on my bazzite desktop. The driver/CUPS thing shows up nothing sometimes, and sometimes finds the printer after 400 attempts even if I search by mac address, ip address, hostname, doesn't matter. The little gremlins in the machine decide when I can print or scan.

    Brother printers

    You've had this experience with multiple Brother printers, or is this anecdotal?

    My anecdotal experience is that my Brother printer works just fine, after installing the driver of course. Delay until printing is in seconds. 🤷‍♂️ It's a WiFi printer, too.
