I'm using a Brother HL1040 laser printer which works very well with
Linux. I think this has now been replaced with a different model but it
should be much the same. It's a straight-through printer, which I find
is a big advantage.
Be careful, however; there are some cheaper Brother printers that are
Windows only.
