Hmm, that model doesn't appear in the OpenPrinting database. I think we
should try to get a model that's already in the database to ensure Linux
compatibility. The number of negative NewEgg reviews also gives me pause.
How about this one:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16828113428
Brother 5370DW
It's in the OpenPrinting database, supports duplex printing, and has a
wireless interface that supports WPA. I have a version of this one at
home and it's never failed me.
What do you think, Chris?
