Actually, I would recommend to check with the OpenPrinting.org project 
if people are really concerned with printer compatibility, but, on the 
whole, this is just a recent glitch. I am sure it will be fixed. I 
suspect it is not really a problem with the actual drivers but with the 
dependencies that are needed with the SPL drivers.

I usually recommend Samsung as a good choice for printer and my son has 
a brother printer that worked 'out of the box' without any problems on 
Linux (it is an older model).

Cheers,

Marc
