I use HP and find them quite good and they have Linux HPLIP software. I've used a PSC-1610 MFP for a couple of years now. I only print 2-3 pages a week. TCO seems to be mainly about the ink, so I think you should start from the price of cartridges and whether or not you can refill them, and then work backwards from there to select a printer.
