I'd recommend the Optra E312. It may be pricier but its Postscript
support is well worth it. Print quality is excellent as well.

Easy enough to setup with lprng and magicfilter. CUPS works too except
that I have been unable to print text files spooled from the command
line whereas Postscript output prints without any problems.

I am glad I bought my Optra E312.
