Neither of the specific models mentioned in reply (the Brother 
MFC-9125CN & HP CP1518ni) could be found in the Linux Printing Database, 
so never would have known about them without  a recommendation. Thanks.

Re: HP MFP M276nw
Is anyone using one of these? While out looking for the printers 
recommended above, I ran into the HP MFP 276nw, which has an RJ45 plug 
as well as being wireless, on sale for $250. A very good price and just 
the size I'm looking for.

Looking at the HP Linux site, it needs the hplip driver. This model is 
listed for Linux as "Support level: Full" and "Recommended: Yes".
http://hplipopensource.com/hplip-web/models/color_laserjet/hp_laserjet_200_colormfp_m276nw.html

For anyone who has experience with HP multi-function devices and the 
hplip driver, am I safe in assuming this will work? If I'm going to buy 
it, I'd like to do it while it's still on sale.

Many thanks,

John.
