Brother does include Linux support, but their PostScript or their Linux
driver has a bug that they've never fixed (at least for my 5250DN). One
example bug is https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=795824.  This
has not been fixed.

I also have an HP OfficeJet 8600 all-in-one and that seems to work well.
