Even for HP there is no way to tell which models will work correctly until you try them. If you already own 25 different types of printers, the chances are that some will be ok. If you have to shop for a printer, there's no way to know. Foomatic is useless in this matter; my HP ink jet is listed in Foomatic as "works perfectly", but it makes a garbage mess out of the printing. At my house the summary is still "Linux does not have printing".
