The Samsung model for $69.99 at FS sounds interesting - I just need to check how well its supported under Linux. If I can find a Brother model close to $100 I'd prefer to go for it as their printers seem to be very well regarded even if they are on the pricier side.

If possible, buy from a source that you can return without hassle.
Even though the database may state that the printer is compatible, you 
may encounter surprises with your distro and version.

I was using a Samsung ML-2250 and am using a ML-2010 at present.
