This is not true.  While many printers will work out of the box, not
all do.  Sometimes you'll have to find a PPD for the printer.
Sometimes support just doesn't exist.

I'd suggest to the original poster to make a list of printers in his
price range from where ever he can buy one, and just do a google
search on the model numbers with 'linux' in there.  It should be
pretty easy to find if the printer works and if there are any
kinks/workaround to get things working.
