I'll second the recommendation for the Brother HL-5xxxDN series. I have
a 5170DN that for the past year has worked well with FreeBSD, OpenBSD
and Linux (using lpr, lprng and cups, variously), OSX and Windows (98SE,
XP). Postscript and PCL. No configuration problems. Just works.
Not as over-built as the HP LaserJet 4+ it replaced but good enough for
the sub-$300 price.
