Another trend that I personally have noticed; a Linux directory exists 
on the CD which comes with new printers.  Necessary drivers and 
instructions are usually there for the printer though Ubuntu has done a 
decent job of auto detecting printers on my network (I only get network 
printers).  If all else fails then I can always try digging out the ppd 
file on a disk and install in that fashion (haven't needed this method 
in a while.)  I did dig this site up with a quick search:

For instance, I recently purchased a Samsung CLP-310 color laser which 
has the Samsung unified Linux driver on the CD, same with a couple of 
Brothers I have had in the past.  Look on the CD and see if you have a 
directory for Linux.  Perhaps we could start a list free for any one to 
post on their site to help get the word out.  I will see if I can dig up 
some of my older disks.  If nothing else it will give the spiders to 
chew on. :-P
