You would never know it from the brand name, but Brother is a Japanese company, and the Japanese are known for making elegant, well made, and easy to use stuff. Konica Minolta is also Japanese and makes pretty good stuff, but for a basic printer I prefer Brother. And don't bother with inkjet, get a Brother all in one laser printer, and you'll have a very reliable machine that isn't expensive to operate. The ink won't dry up if you don't use it, and the drivers aren't constantly trying to sell you anything.
Canon is Japanese too, can't say the same about their fairly recent practices...
