Brother printers are great. Probably the only decent printer brand for home usage. My university has free printing, and those are Canon printers. They seem to work fine, so I guess the commercial market is a little different.
Weirdly, my parents have this Samsung M2020W printer, and I gotta say, it's pretty neat. Takes any off-brand toner cartridge. They only need a cartridge every year or so. It's been 3+ years, but no problem so far. That might be an exceptional case, though.
Sharp also make great commerical-grade printers that are 100% Linux compatible, we're using these at work: http://global.sharp/products/copier/products/bp_70c65/index.html
They don't really make anything small enough to be a "home" model, this looks like their smallest printer: https://global.sharp/products/copier/products/mx_c358f/index.html (and that's around $1000, if you could even find someone to sell you one).
