I had before HP OfficeJet. It is a common consensus that HP is well 
supported in Linux. In my experience however the Brother drivers are way, 
way better then hplip. My HP OfficeJet did not have built-in duplex and I 
had to use hplip provided manual "duplex" option. That is printing first 
odd pages, then turning the pile over and printing the even pages. hplip 
always screwed it up giving me headache. I not only had to turn the whole 
pile over but I had to turn each page up down too. That was a nightmare.

Speaking of quality of the printer itself, there is no way HP flimsy 
printers can come even close with the quality of my Brother MFC. Very 
sturdy build, reliable workhorse. I have a laser All-in-One with duplex 
built-in (no wireless) and, since I get it on sale, it cost me much less 
than the flimsy HP OfficeJet. After I've discovered for myself Brother 
MFCs, I'd never go back to any of HP products.
