Wireless Printer Recomendations

I'm hoping to buy a wireless printer in the New Year.  Wondering which one would work best with PCLinuxOS?

Suggestions appreciated.

I got a real cheap HP before Xmas.
It did not have the setup facility on the front panel, so it required to be set up using Win ......  IP address and such.

After set up it was possible to use wirelessly from Linux.
It of course worked with no problems using a USB cable from Linux, out of box.

It was something I was unaware of at the time .......  that the cheaper printers do not have the set up in the printer panel.

I am very happy with it ......  it being for intermittent use only, the cost of cartridges is not a concern.
Print quality is good.
Print, copy, & scan all work well.

regards.

I just bought a wireless Samsung laser printer (ML-2525W, $89 at Newegg.com) in November. It connects either via USB, Ethernet cable, or via 802.11 g wireless. It was fairly easy to setup. I did have to download the printer driver from the Samsung web site, but Samsung has excellent support for Linux, including setup instructions that specifically cover Linux and dedicated Linux drivers that provide access to all of the features of the printer -- not like other manufacturers who provide minimal drivers that don't provide full access to all of the features of the hardware. The printer was fairly easy to set up, and the printer's wireless setup was accomplished through a common web interface.

The Samsung printer replaced a HP LaserJet P1006 that went belly up after less than 3 years. The actual printer part of the HP printer worked perfectly. It was the USB 2.0 port that went bad, and since it was a USB-only printer, there was no other way to interface the printer with the computer. This is why I decided - right then and there - that my next printer would have multiple ways to interface the printer with the computer, and one reason why I chose the Samsung.

I have a HP Photosmart Premium (c309g). It's an all-in-one wireless and I've had no problems with it. Connects wirelessly to machines running PCLOS, OSX, W7, and Vista.

Not surprisingly, the set up for PCLOS was automagical.

Thanks to all of you that gives me some Idea of what to look for.
