I dont want to hijack this thread but I purchased a Samsung ML-1520P and I am IMPRESSED with the amount of Linux support they have incorporated! They have actually put in a GUI installer like they have in Windoze and it works smoothly... Only problem is that it breaks system-config-print-gui. Dunno why but I am not using their driver but rather 1510 driver...
Bottom line: HP sucks at Linux support. Samsung's not the best but they have made an excellent attempt at bringing ease to the world of Linux :D
