I like my Brother MFC-L2740DW. Duplex greyscale laser with sheet feeder. 
A little deeper but not as wide as your current printer. Printing uses 
only open source drivers (with the foomatic-db-compressed-ppds package). 
Scanning needs brscan4-0.4.4-2.amd64.deb. I use XSane. On WiFi network. 
Other user reports that it works with Mac. What is this "Windows"?

CUPS settings:
