[Nottingham] printer recommend for Linux?

[Michael Quaintance]

I've never had problems with HP LaserJet printers over the network
interface - but I've never used USB printing.

My most recent printer purchase was a Samsung C1810 which works immediately
on Windows and Mac, and only took adding a (non-free binary blob) Ubuntu
PPA to make it work on Debian so if you're ok with that, it will work fine
on Ubuntu. As will most recent Samsungs.

The Samsung driver supports a very large number of Samsung printers.
