Beware of Brother. They have separate toner and drum units. Replacing
the drum it's gonna bite you hard.
I'd rather go with Samsung.
They are very friendly towards Linux and they make decent hardware.
Best is to first do an evaluation on supplies, i.e. toner, drum etc
and calculate the price per page.
Don't look at the price of the printer itself, compare the price of
the replacement toner.

My 2 cents,
