Brother works well too. I just connect the printer via USB or network. If you go the network route, just set up a static IP for the printer and then use that IP address when you set up the printer for Linux/BSD.

This is the last one I got, my boss has been using it for months with no complaints.  I can't remember 100% but I may have done the initial setup via a wired network connection but I don't remember if it was necessary or just what I did.
