I also do not have that specific printer, but I have both a Brother MFC-J470DW duplex inkjet printer/scanner. I sometimes have a failure when scanning, but the second try almost always works. The printer has been great under Window, Linux, and Mac.
I also have a HL-2280DW duplex BW laser printer. It has been rock-solid on all three operating systems. Brother also does not seem to attempt to lock you in to their toner/ink, so overall I'm very satisfied with them. Of course this is no guarantee that the printer you're looking at will work, but hopefully that helps a bit.
