   I was just informed that the new printer was shipped.   
   The product itself was fine, just horrible tech support.   
      
   BTW: I was happy to find that Brother has a Linux driver on their   
   website that comes with two possible configurations. Unfortunately   
   neither work.  Using the Brother driver, there was no way I was able to   
   modify the configuration however.   
      
   I ended up using the Generic PCL-5e driver that allowed me to configure   
   the device to my choosing. Thankfully, I took notes because I have no   
   idea how I originally figured out the ipp configuration which was:   
      
      
      
      
   ipp://192.168.1.196:631/ipp   
      
      
   At a complete loss as to how I had figured that out six months ago as in   
   Linux, the ipp has to be entered manually, AFAIK there is no autodetect.
