I have tried to install Canons that other people already owned. The
experience can best be summed up with "Ouch!"

In addition to HPLIP which Al mentioned, there is also hpijs. Those two with
CUPS make using most HPs child's play.

I have also had success with Samsungs. I myself have an ML1510 and I have
installed more recent models for other people. Samsung supplies Linux
drivers, but I have found the ones that come with CUPS more satisfactory.
