I always use lasers and a separate scanner so this is probably not what you are looking for. Currently I had a Brother and a Samsung, both of which work very well. I'm sure CUPS would work with both but I prefer lprng + magicfilter. The driver from the Brother site used to work for me but for some reason it stopped; however, the ljet4 driver provided with magicfilter is fine.
