[OCLUG-Tech] Hardware suggestions small laser printers.

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.
