If it has a USB port, I can recommend the HP 1012. Call it an HP
Laserjet 5L when installing the filter if you're using CUPS, if I
remember my installation correctly. It is small, prints circa 14 pages
a minute, and has 8 MB RAM memory. And eats lower quality paper than
the 5L I had for since 1997.
Around $240 with USB cable from Staples. I prefer lasers for printing
text and it should do acceptable line art.
