samba - Sep 2014 - advice : samba cups and point and print ( hardware needed )

Hi 
?
it's a bit offtopic here, but its a good place to ask.. 
?
I'm looking for some new printer hardware and i was thinking lets ask the
samba people..

I'm just a bit wondering which brand and models of printers do you all use. 
I'm using samba with cups with point and print setup.?
I?only use windows drivers ( no ppd's ) .
?
now im having for example some HP 4345MFP printers running and i need some extra
( and maybe bigger ) printer.
so what do you all use for printer hardware ( in a setup like above ) 
?
im open for any advice.. 
?
i know for example that : 
- Xerox hardware with the latest printer drivers does not work in above setup. 
- HP hardware with the latest printer driver (globa) do work ok ( after
disableing the snmp communication in the printer driver )
so please fill this in ... this wil make it much easier for lots of people then
to choose..
and this way we force the big companies to also tink samba when developing
printer drivers. ...
?

- Kyocera Mita printers work fine with the generic driver packages. The 
only limitation is that during auto detection of the connected printers 
you manually have to enter the printer's ip address for snmp discovery. 
When used on an windows server the address gets detected. We used the 
following models FS-C5150DN, FS-C5015N, FS-3920DN, FS-2000DN.
- Brother, MFC 7840W and MFC 7360DN had worked fine for an while 
(~4.0.5) without restrictions and stopped working (4.1.?) after an 
update. Did not get em running again so i moved them to an windows vm.
- HP with generic drivers worked fine for with XP but not with Windows 
7, guess i need the snmp fix you mentioned. We use Color LaserJet 
CP1510, LaserJet 1100, LaserJet Pro 400 MFP.
