[GTALUG] Request for printer recommendations

Lexmark printers are known to be bricks with Linux, and I have a
Lexmark brick myself.

I've had good luck with Samsung laser printers, both colour and B&W.
You need to install a (non-free(dom)) driver, and ensure the parallel
port daemon is removed (CPU hog), but otherwise Samsung printers work
fine.

I've had success with Brother laser printers (B&W multifunction units)
too.
