Originally "LinuxPrinting", it is now "OpenPrinting" and hosted by the 
Linux Foundation.  Great site.

If you're thinking of an HP printer, then any of them are good save for 
the following models, which require that binary blob (the LaserJet 1000 
is one of them).  I've gotta give HP credit--they're much more open than 
in years past!
