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.

    I’m not familiar with Mint but couldn’t OP just boot on a liveUSB and check if it works ?

      Yes this is the best way.

      On Linux I’ve never had to install drivers for any printers, it comes with a “generic” driver that works for a ton of brands,

        Linux (Ubuntu at least) has been more out of the box compatible with printers than any other os I’ve used

      Possibly they are looking to buy a printer and don’t yet have it.
