In my experience Brother printers do work O.K. on Linux.

Other manufacturers rebadge Brother so my Fuji Xerox is actually a Brother.

The problem will be when you try and match the printer with CUPS. In my 
case I had to specify a Brother printer in CVUPS to get my Fuji-Xerox to 
work properly.

Probably a normal Brother printer will have no problems.
