I've found the cheap Brother laser printers (HL-2140, etc.) to be really
good. Supported by standard CUPS drivers (foomatic), and being lasers,
there's not a whole lot that can go wrong with them.

Only downside is that the toner cartridge you initially get when you buy
it doesn't last very long, but that's to be expected. Toner for 1,500
pages is about $80 or so, as far as I remember.

Cheers,
Daniel
