Hello, Sunday I sent the attached mail to try to ask what I thought was an ontopic question, but I have not seen it, and it does not show in the archives as of this afternoon. Have I done something wrong?

(I am resending my enquiry using the NCF web mail interface in case the problem is a spam filter somewhere.)

I am migrating my kubuntu to a new computer.  I am thinking of getting a
fresh laser printer, The Brother unit I am using  has a Brother "cups
wrapper" driver which occasionally goes away for several minutes and
then prints out multiple pages of error messages. (normally after I have
closed the web page I wanted to print)

SO

I would like a USB printer that is supported by native CUPS.

Looking at the web I see an HP 1102W, which is about all I want, but HP
says it requires a driver download! SMALL (to fit the small space beside
the computer) and reasonably quick, 10-20 PPM)

Anyone have any recent experience with a small laser printer that I can
buy new for under say 200 dollars that Kubuntu 14.04 will already know
about?

Local to kanata or available by mail is a plus.
