   For now, I'm again giving up contacting Brother.   
      
   New printer is working on both Windows and Linux   
      
   Wireless printing is very low priority.   
      
   I gave my now working old printer to a friend who does not have a   
   computer and it seems to be working with their phone...   
   So maybe that's not all too bad
