Well I never seem to be able to get any printer working without lots of 
playing around.

But I've had (eventual) success with my Brother MFC (Monochrome Laser 
Printer/Fax/Copier/Color Scanner) 7820N.  Brother has Linux Drivers (in 
.deb and .rpm packages) on their website.

Most any HP should work (I have a DeskJet 6800 - not a a MultiFunction). 
   Ubuntu has all the HP Open source drivers already.
