Yep, I'm pretty high on the Brother laser printers because:
1. They support PostScript directly, so work great as a network
printer for Unix-style machines,
2. don't try to make my toner cartridge not work, and
3. even the all-in-one stuff works in Linux _using standard Linux tools_.

Plus the prints look pretty great, as you would expect from any modern printer.
