Brother printers are great. Probably the only decent printer brand for home usage. My university has free printing, and those are Canon printers. They seem to work fine, so I guess the commercial market is a little different.
Weirdly, my parents have this Samsung M2020W printer, and I gotta say, it’s pretty neat. Takes any off-brand toner cartridge. They only need a cartridge every year or so. It’s been 3+ years, but no problem so far. That might be an exceptional case, though.
I used to have a Samsung laser for quite a few years. Went through maybe three toner cartridges. Eventually it started slipping and I didn’t bother finding out if there’s a repair available and bought a brother laser instead. Worked pretty great otherwise.
Haven’t tried toner transfer on this, but regular printouts are fine and it’s much faster.

Not all are created equal

Sharp also make great commerical-grade printers that are 100% Linux compatible, we’re using these at work: http://global.sharp/products/copier/products/bp_70c65/index.html
They don’t really make anything small enough to be a “home” model, this looks like their smallest printer: https://global.sharp/products/copier/products/mx_c358f/index.html (and that’s around $1000, if you could even find someone to sell you one).
