I would take any laser printer with a scanner/copier that doesn't have a subscription model that has Linux drivers for all features .
Brother is the only one I've found to check all the boxes
My only gripe with it was the scan drivers were not easy to configure to enable network scanning.
Once I figured that out, I made a SANE scan server that has the drivers, and I just point all my devices to that (SANE to SANE) and don't even need to install the actual scanner drivers. It's damn amazing.
Maybe it depends on the model? I just set it up on one a laptop a couple weeks ago and it only took like 10 minutes.
I guess it was easy, just not well documented (at the time, anyway).
