HP LaserJet 1020 Printer — 

It's cheap, it's fast, it prints well, but it does not work out of the box on Linux systems, as it's using a proprietary printing system that requires an unofficial reverse-engineered driver for CUPS.
Even with the driver, the USB connection with the host system "decades" after sometime, forcing to power cycle the printer.
HP as a lot of more Linux friendly printer, so if you need to use it on Linux, choose another one.

Not many manufactures offer Linux drivers for thier printers, perhaps you should have checked before you bought...
