I would not judge them from the knowledge of just one individual.
I have a Brother HL-5240L b/w laser printer, and as I understand from
the manual, they are just starting to support Linux, and plan to extend
their support in the future.
My HL-5240L could easily be installed using the Cups interface ('Add
printer...'), the ppd is even present in Debian by default.
It works perfectly, including the 'Toner save' setting (prints dark
gray instead of black).
You can see that the HL-2270DW, too, works 'perfectly' in Linux:

AFAICS, its ppd is not (yet) contained in Debian by default, but you can
download it from the above page and install it equally easy using the
Cups interface ( http://localhost:631/ ).
