Check the Printing-HOWTO. I'm looking at v4.5 Feb 2000. The author,
Grant Taylor, lists a whole bunch of printer by brand/model/rating.
Ratings are according to how they work w/linux:
perfectly;
mostly;
partially; and
paperweight.
Obviously, this HOWTO list is not up-to-date (get the latest), due to
new products and new drivers. Further, check the latest Ghostscript
(com or free) for compatibilities.
Armed with this info, you should be able to shop a large number of
sources with confidence that your purchase will work.
Good luck,
