I have used various Samsungs both for myself and for other people. They are very Linux friendly and have great support; once you get through to the second tier, that is - but I have the name and direct contact details of the current Linux chap and he is quite happy for me to pass them on. Most Just Work. My own ML-1510 is also proving very durable and is very cheap to run, having been very cheap to buy in the first place.
