I use a HP Colour Laserjet 2550L here, gives great results.
The Centronics interface works fine with the Amiga.  Not tried it with USB, or the optional ethernet expansion (2550LN).
It's kinda noisey like most lasers, and it doesn't do automatic double sided printing.

I've had it about four years (from new) and it's never given any problems.  You can pick them up 2nd hand for a low price, but I'm not sure if there's an easy way to check drum wear and remaining toner on a used HP 2550L.

Turboprint only offers a mono driver for this printer, which may be limiting, but since I mainly print directly from the postscript outputs of FinalWriter97 and PageStream, Turboprint is not needed anyway.

Another benefit of using Postscript outputs is you can "print preview" using Ghostscript, plus easily convert to PDF, or various image formats.
