I have a Samsung ML 1210 which I am very happy with. You have to be careful of some of the HP lasers as some of them -- I can't remember the model # don't work under linux. My printer only requires a toner cartridge, some seem to require a drum and toner which increases the cost of printing (or so I understand it). Samsung supports linux and I got this printing working quicker under COL 3.1.1 than under windows. Some of the other varieties of linux may require more tweaking. Linuxprinting.org has most of the information you need.
