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.
