No duplex on Brother HL-5250DN in OS X?

Hi,

the Brother HL-5250DN looks very nice:

- Ethernet & USB
- Duplex
- Postscript
- Cheap

However, some reviewer said that OS X support is bad, is that true?

Thanks,
Daniel

No, OS X support is good, including duplexing support. See my review

And it's still going strong after 2,879 printed pages.

Thanks! Seems like this is the best cheap Ethernet-Postscript-Duplex
printer for Macs at the moment.

Bought mine, it's working great under OS X 10.4!

You might need to update firmware. Mine had some networking flaws
out-of-the-box, after the update everything runs fine. Firmware
available at brother website.
