Recommend a Linux-compatible Laser printer

This one's postscript:

It's an Okidata. We used to have one at my former employer which was a
real tank, but it was also really old so I really can't make much of a
statement as to the quality of more recent models.

As a postscript printer it should work well enough with Linux. The
output is only 200x600dpi as well, but it's probably good for text if
that's what you're after.
