I have not owned an ink jet since the late nineties. I always try to
buy laser printers that "speak" post script, and have usually bought
printers with built-in network print servers. However, I used to own a
Brother HL 1440[1]. It worked without any hassles under Linux
whatsoever.

My current printer is a Dell 1710n. Which is basically a Lexmark with
Dell badges, and again works without issue.

If I need colour (which I rarely do) I take my files to a print shop
and pay per page.
