Most printers with ethernet or serial interfaces should work.
Minolta/QMS use oddball drivers on their ethernet printers that may
cause some problems.  As always, "Win" devices are a loose, but
generally would have parrallel interfaces anyway.  The SS2 serial port
maxes out at 19200 baud.

For a cheap printer, see if you can find a Laserjet 3 with jetdirect
card or a Laserjet 4M on the used market.  The 2100TN is a more recent
replacement.

SBUS parrallel port cards do exist, but probably arn't worth the
effort.

Practically, any laser printer works fine with cupsys under Debian
GNU/Linux. Look at www.cups.org in order to see if there are laser
printers not "workable".
I have a HP LaserJet 2100 and it is working fine using the cupsys
drivers. Also look at Debian Packages to see the cupsys packages you'll
need to download.
Good look,
