Given that, http://www.linuxprinting.org is your friend, seriously. It has the best coverage of what printers work with Linux under CUPS, LPRng, lpd, etc. What drivers you need, what printing subsystems, up-to-date PPDs for CUPS, etc. It's my first stop whenever I need to deal with linxu printing these days.
I have an Epson Stylus C82 working perfectly on a parallel port connection from my FC1 box at home and my girlfriend's Win98 box prints to it perfectly as well using the from-CD installed driver for the printer. At the time I purchased it, the C82 was the recommended moderate-cost color inkjet printer on linuxprinting.org and I've been pleased with it.
