The main thing you want to look for is PCL and/or PostScript compatibility. |

And I'd highly recommend getting a networked printer that supports Port |
18 |
9100 instead of a USB one - this allows you to use the same printer for all |
19 |
of your systems. |

The Brother HL-L2370DW (https://www.brother-usa.com/products/HLL2370DW) |
22 |
seems to be the cheapest Brother that supports PCL. |
