what they print.

I find the best thing to do is look for any
printer that supports
PostScript, since that means it can use generic drivers that aren't likely
to be dropped from CUPS any time soon.
This is AFAIK another crap advise. OF course if a printer supports PS it
would works in linux - especially if it was 2002.
Just buy a decent printer that is known to be working - there are cheaper or
more expensive once that work pretty well. Some manufacturers are more
linux friendly like HP, but also some of their low budget printers are
crap.
