I like Brother printers.  They aren't quite as much on board with Linux as HP, 
but their lasers still have a great track record, and the consumables are 
cheaper.  I have an HL-5170 DN now, and have been very happy with it.  The 
printer before this one was an HL-1440.  It's still running fine.  I just 
wanted to trade up, and my old boss needed a Linux-friendly printer for his 
daughter, so that gave me a good excuse.
