Hi, Ruben.

Brother has good options. I have a HL3150cdw one and it works.
I recommend you to search in your local retailer web page and check if "<your model> linux" is good.

- linuxprinting.org
- and the wiki of archlinux

are some points to start if you want to search some info.

Regards,
Xavier
