Printer suitability - Brother HL-5270DN

[David Fletcher]

We're looking for a laser printer for the Engineering department at work. 
Considering the Brother HL-5270DN.

Accounts department has a HL-5170DN on a windows network which has been 
working reliably for some years, so it would seem reasonable to purchase a 
similar model.

Can anybody please tell me if they're using the HL-5270DN with a Linux server? 
Any problems? The machine has a driver listed in the CUPS printer setup but 
I've not tried a Brother printer with Linux before, so best to be sure....

Thanks for any advice.
