Most comments comments mention Brother, but for me, Oki is working like a charm. Using a B431dn (b/w, duplex) and a C531dn (color, duplex) with PPD files from OpenPrinting. Older models though, not sure if Oki dropped quality in favour of DRM since.

Rules of thumb:

Laser instead of ink unless you specifically know that you need/want ink.
Stay away from HP, Canon, and probably Epson. HP, like IBM, has long lost its aspiration for quality.
Stay away from anything that is ‘smart’ or ‘cloud’.
