If you had to rate which printer brand works better with Linux (Fedora and Centos), what would it be?
Any Brother printer that I've ever had the misfortune to have to deal with either didn't work at all or if could be made to work, it didn't work for long.
If it's a Brother, run away as fast as you can. They're the cheapest crappiest thing you can possibly imagine.
My wife makes quilts and says the same thing about Brother sewing machines.
Cannot comment on sewing machines, however I always head to brother for laser printers. I don't do inkjet ever, as the cost per page doesn't fit my use case and dried out ink cartridges drive me nuts.
Great thing about brother is they really support linux! yes you do need to visit their web site but they offer drivers and they seem to provide access to all the printer's features.
Only gotcha I've had is trying to use alternative toner cartridges - that really didn't go well at all, got brother product and it was good as new - go figure.
