There are lots of laser printers which work with Trisquel purely because they support postscript.

Dell doesn't design printers either last I checked which means somebody else did and it is 100% certain that it depends on those companies which actually designed the printer having released the code. There probably are some Dell printers which are free software friendly. Dell was selling printers originally which were made by HP. However they have since moved on to working with others (Lexmark, and probably others).

The best thing to do is look at HP's documentation. There are several places to look once you have the printer model looked up. One of them being the firmware, plug-in, and then HPLIP version. There may be variations of a printer model though and I can't confirm that all variations are going to work.

And as always we do sell a handful of Trisquel-friendly printers.

One other note. You probably won't have support out of the box for any HP printers readily available under Trisquel 6. The HPLIP version included in Trisquel pre-dates HP's current line-up. The printers we ship on the other hand do all work with Trisquel 6 out of the box.
