But a few years ago it was a lot worse, especially with cheap inkjets.
Many supported only GDI printing which naturally is best supported on

Yeah, but I bought an *HP* laserjet, because I thought everyone
supported them well.
Turns out I probably have the only orphaned HP LJ model.
Yes, the HP Laserjets usually have really good support with PCL and
sometimes even Postscript.
You said you've got a HP (Laserjet?) 2300?
On http://www.openprinting.org/printer/HP/HP-LaserJet_2300 it says that
printer "works perfectly" and supports PCL 5e, PCL6 and Postscript level 3.
Generally http://www.openprinting.org/printers is a really good page to
see if a printer has Linux-support and where to get drivers etc.
