"Sure, then just throw the printer in the bin as there are no Linux drivers for it (I know, I tried for several days)"
True, that can happen.
Sometimes a generic PCL or postscript driver will get reasonable functionality.
The best way to address this is planning ahead when buying hardware. I just bought a new Brother laser all-in-one printer/scanner/copier/fax with full Linux support from Brother, drivers available in .rpm or .deb.
On sale at 40% off... it's the summer start competition time for computer sales... cheaper than a lot of ink-jet printers, duplex printing, document feeder, etc.... :) ... happy camper time...
I am told that Brother also has better than average toner price/capacity ratios.
