The MFC-8220 is a five-in-one laser multifunction machine that truly outperforms any other laser sheet-fed all-in-one product in its class. The MFC-8220 is not only a laser printer and a feature-rich standalone fax, but also a full function copier and black-and-white scanner. Also included is PC Fax capability, allowing you to send and receive faxes via your desktop PC.
In addition to producing sharp, laser print quality of up to 2,400 x 600 dpi (HQ1200), the MFC-8220 prints and copies at an impressive speed of up to 21 ppm/cpm. The MFC-8220 comes equipped with a 250-sheet adjustable paper tray for letter or legal size paper and an optional second 250-sheet paper tray is also available. Both USB and parallel ports are standard, and the MFC-8220 is compatible with Linux, Windows, Mac, and DOS operating systems.

Driver instructions:
The print speed is very good, though paper handling is pretty poor. It's copier function is really pretty good for small jobs.
It reports paper jams when there are none, the ADF often drags more than one piece of paper through the scanner, and the envelope/special paper feeder only accepts one lousy piece of paper at a time.
Installation under Linux was very easy (much easier than installing in Windows, even with the provided driver cd). Print speed under Linux is a bit odd, each page takes quite some time to print, though I haven't tried switching to any of the several other drivers for the printer that are part of a normal SuSE 9.x installation.
With Vonage, I'm not able to send or receive faxes a lot of the time, and, with certain machines on the other end, couldn't ever transmit or receive. To be fair, it probably is Vonage's fault.
Finally, there's an idiotic feature to the main paper tray that doesn't allow you to re-insert the empty tray unless you load more paper (or press a tab). It's the sort of unexpected, poorly designed user interface quirk that shouldn't exist in products that cost more than a few dollars.
