Although it is not a network printer, I love my HP 4255. It has
integrated fax, scanning, and printing, and because it is an inkjet it
starts up immediatly and I can cheaply refill the ink cartridges
(trivial to do on most HP's). The Linux drivers have lots of features
(including margins, print quality, and such) and as they are the
_same_drivers_ from most HP printers, Ubuntu and most other Linux
distros include them out of the box. My D-Link router has a USB
printer function, which gets me around the issue that the printer does
not have networking built in.

I should mention that I bought the HP printer and D-Link router with
USB printer function specifically because those two companies state ON
THE BOX that they support Linux. Companies that want my business say
so, I don't guess.
