<div dir="ltr"><div>I used to have a Brother HL-L2360DW. I actually kept notes on how I got it to work with Ubuntu, but this was some six years ago, so YMMV.

and have been very happy with it (direct from Brother, refurbished).<br>
Home use, less than 1,000 pages so far.<br>
<br>
It's not obvious from the product specs (unless you look closely)<br>
but the HL-L3270CDW has wired ethernet and wifi. Print protocols<br>
include LPD, IPP, AirPrint and so on.<br>
<br>
I use Ubuntu, and printing just works - select 1 or 2 sided,<br>
trays, B&W or colour, etc. Mac, Windows work well. No big annoying<br>
software package installs, as you often see with HP etc.<br>
<br>
My observation is that Brother printers seem to have a reputation<br>
for being low in annoyance, and that's my experience.<br>
<br>
My 20 year old HP LaserJet 2200 is showing its age - the duplexer<br>
tends to jam these days.<br>
<br>
Hope that helps!<br>
