Kyocera.
Can't say I've used any, but they seem to have a good reputation.

We've abandoned HP due to declining quality (but I still love the LJ4
era tanks!), and have switched to Lexmark, and even their little E120n
seems to be linux-friendly (with drivers too), and sells for under £100,
including a nice network interface. I couldn't buy one of HPs
oh-so-unreliable JetDirect cards for that!

Best wishes,
