This is Dell's official statement from their blog (http://direct2dell.com/one2one/archive/2007/05/21/15563.aspx): We recommend Linux users buy Dell printers that have PostScript engines in them. The previous hyperlink lists those printers. You can also check in the Tech Specs tab for each printer on Dell.com show if it has PostScript or not.

With their new ubuntu systems, they will probably ask you to buy linux recognized printers as accessories. I am sure they would do that, since they stand to make money on it :)

I sure hope so.. I got a dell all-in-one 810 for free with my laptop last year, but never got it to work in linux.
