Printers: suggestions for known good printers?

I have a couple of Brother MFCs around the shop and farm, and while they do work with Linux, I'm constantly fighting with them for scaling, orientation and printing really light half the time. Maybe I'm not using the right drivers, but I've tried several as recommended on the Archwiki (even though I'm on Fedora, mostly) and can't seem to get any joy out of them.

I just want a basic MFC BW laser that will scan, copy and print spreadsheets reliably. I have a LJ4000 at home that works great but of course that's not exactly something you go out and buy anymore.

Anyone have a known good current MFC they can recommend, and the driver package it uses to match? Goddam, I hate printers.
