Second this- the really great thing about the brother lasers is awesome Linux driver support. The install process was simpler on Debian than even the windows setup, which is certainly not the case for HP gear (hplip, the less I think about it the happier I am).

What? I've never had any issues with my HP laser printer in Linux.

I can attest that in Windows 10 I always have to delete and re-add the network printer whenever I want to print something because apparently being offline even once is enough of an upset to send the Windows printing system into paroxysms of fear, where it will tremble mightily, unable to re-try in less than 20 minutes. Don't get me started on how it's impossible to share a cellular connection over Ethernet because plugging Ethernet in turns the cell connection off to "save power" either. That little turd of a feature cost me a couple hours last week.

This, and for most Brother printers there is a page counter bypass for toner carts.

HP has this as well for the printers I have.
