Well, as others said there are essentially three alternatives, you can 
choose from:

==HP
==HP
and
==Hewlett-Packard

But:
Unfortunately, not all HPs are working with Linux. However, the already 
given website clearly outlines what works with Linux and what does not.

And if it works, it works superbly. I never saw such an outstanding 
Linux support!

I also have very good experiences with Brother printers. Again, only use 
those, where brother supports linux. You can find out about this on the 
brother website.

They also work very well, but the installation is a little more 
complicated than with HP.

In regard to the recommendation not to use Lexmark:
It depends:
==At all costs avoid cheap lexmark printers, they are not worth your money.
==The enterprise Lexmark Laser Printers that support postscript, work 
exceptionally well with Linux.

Lastly, as with everything Linux related, you should absolutely make 
certain that your printer works with Linux BEFORE buying it!!

Kind regards
