I love having a duplexing color laser printer at home, and thanks to my friend John for the recommendation on the Brother HL-4150. However, in the last few months I found that print quality was way out of whack from Linux, last night I found the fix.
What was most curious was that if I printed from Adobe Acrobat, everything was good, but any other program in the system, and the output was jaggy, and the colors were faded. The fix was simple, but took a little while to find.
Make the print url: lpd://(Your printer’s IP address)/binary_p1
Life is good again, output looks great, and I don’t have to jump through Adobe hoops. And if you are looking for an affordable color home laser printer, I’d definitely recommend this one.
It's always more complicated 
I’ve had various and terrible luck with Brother products. Several went belly up with cryptic error messages on them that required a trip back to the manufacturer to repair. This was a few years back, so hopefully for you their firmware programmers have gotten better since then.

I had issues with the super low end models in the past, but this one has been solid as a rock so far.
