I got a cheap (bw) HP LaserJet p1005 half a decade ago. It works well with the drivers from http://foo2zjs.rkkda.com/ , which lets me avoid using the bloated hplip mess (I tried that when I got the printer, it didn't work with network printing and required a running X session). It looks like the printer you mentioned only works with hplip. If hplip is acceptable to you, that is great, otherwise I would suggest looking for a different model that is either natively supported by cups or supported by the foo2X drivers or other similarly non-intrusive drivers. -- eroen
