Can't tell what your level of "hassle" would be, but the small Samsung 
laser printers are darn cheap (usually around $100 or less on sale), and 
they've had Linux drivers for quite some time now.

Since I bought a little Belkin wireless USB print server, I haven't had 
to do much in the way of direct setup of printers via USB on Linux, but 
at one time I had the Samsung laser set up to print from the laptop 
direct, and I don't remember it being particularly hard to do.

On the wireless server, CUPS can just see it beautifully and just 
"works".  No problem at all.

http://www.linuxprinting.org/ is probably the most definitive place to 
go to research printers for Linux use.
