I've had a wonderful experience with my Konica-Minolta 2430DL.  The
company is very linux friendly. Goto there page and all of the B&W laser,
Color Lasers, and All-in-ones boast linux friendliess, 64-bit friendly as
well.  Great customer service too.  I bought a floor model from a CompUSA
for cheap grins and one piece was damaged smearing some black print dust. 
Called up K-M, and technically they said it was Comp-USA's problem b/c it
was a floor model.  Then K-M's tech guy said, "You'll get no where with
CompUSA so let me just send you the $50 replacement part at no charge."  
Replaced the part and have never had a lick of trouble with it.
