Hi :)
Brilliant answer!  Thanks :)  

The Konica C253 looks about the right size.  

I've not had much luck with the Cups website nor the OpenPrinting one but it looks like they might 
have reorganised it, or else you are better at using it.  My money would be on the latter if i had 
to make a bet on it.  

Thanks and regards from 
Tom :)

Does anyone know of companies that do product-lines that are easily compatible with Gnu&Linux?


See as beginning http://www.openprinting.org/printers/manufacturer/HP/ - 
remember - sometimes you will have to (re)install driver manually, 
sometimes replace the driver from distro (HP P1100 & Mandriva).



For work I use HP and Konica - both work.  Tested on Debian 4-7 and 
Mandriva up to 2012.

I divide the Konica in two groups - full version (my models: C253, 
4695MF) works in PCL&PS and version light - chipper but risk to work.

Similar is problem with HP - see CUPS documentation for support.  
Generally HP works out of the box (my private HP-8500 multifunction I 
connected via USB and Debian7 autoinstalled), but some models don't 
understand PCL and/or PS.  The HPijs also doesn't support all models.

If you want to use the special function like auto-rotation paper-sheet 
function Landscape=>Portrait (eg Ricoh multifunction devices) - first 
download PPD file and see is this function exists or not.  If you need 
other languages in print dialog-box than English the translate messages 
in PPD file is the easier way.


Forget about Brother if you use 64bit distro, the drivers works OK only 
in 32bit version.  Of course you can install on 64bit but it gives more 
problems that can be imagine in different kind like moved print-content 
always 5cm up and cut from the bottom.


Resume:
     + if printer support PCL and/or PS and/or hpijs
     + is PPD on the OpenPrinting website with remark "Perfectly"
     + is printer as vendor+model+connection-kind described in CUPS docs
===========
     total: 90% of proof it will work.
