In Linux, newer isn't always better. The best solution is the one that works.

Re: Recommend a printer ?
I had one of those printers for a number of years, and had no problem with the drivers. it was one of the most reliable printer set-ups ever. I'm surprised it gives you a problem.
The cheapest mono laser with a scanner I can find is the HP LaserJet MFP M140we. You can find it for £120, only a bit over your budget Reports say is works well with Linux. I very much doubt the build quality will much the Brother however.

OK thank you,after what Chris said I will keep the Brother printer and try and resolve the driver problem,I installed cups for it and the Brother driver but when I do a test print there is no print on it?
Thank you.
Thank you.

I don't see your model number but I used one for a very similar model and it worked OK.

Not sure if you'll want the Driver Install Tool or the LPR or CUPS - I don't know this stuff! I followed fehlix's advice and all went OK.
I assume you tried Print settings from the menu to see if it's recognized.
