Resuming where this thread peeered out (), can anyone tell us if the Brother HL-2040 multi-function B&W laser has OS/2-eCS drivers? I can't find anything in the Omni of Laserjet driver packs here (30.827) Does anyone know about these - good bad or indifferent? We have an opportunity to pick one up real cheap. I would like the idea of 'bargain' rather than 'cheap' but there may be a reason for it being only $A48 cash and carry...
