I have an HP 1012 that is no longer made.  Configured using cups on Fredora 5 and 6.  It was $250 about 2 and a half years ago.  Prints real fast!

I think almost any HP will work with Linux.  I would stay away form the windows printers if they still make those.

It worked pretty good. It has served me well for 2+ years but I couldn't get it running under anything that wasn't Debian or rpm based. Simple black&white ethernet hook up easy to configure is what I want....


I have a Brother 5250 DN that I bought from Amazon for $150 at the
time (they were having a sale). It duplexes and works fine with CUPS
over the ethernet. Its available now at newegg.com for 199.99 with
free shipping. It use it with HP drivers. I have used Brother printers
in the past with HP drivers as well, and so far haven't had any
problem.
