Color laser printers are great for things like maps, charts, diagrams, and graphs, but I've never seen one that did a decent job with photos. [However, itq has been at least a year since I looked at printers.] So if printing photos is a requirement, make sure the printer in question does a good enough job for you. In my experience, any HP that does postscript will work great with Linux. You may want to confirm that there's a .ppd file for that model so that CUPS can take advantage of all the bells and whistles (e.g. selecting resolution, paper source, controlling duplexing, etc.). -- Grant
