Printer - caveats, opinions, experiences?

I managed to get an HP 3505n on sale for $450 and am looking to
configure it on the network soon. It was a display model, and I was told
I can return it within 14 days if it doesn't work properly...must be
they were trying to get rid of it because it was discontinued or
something. After telling me the distributor warehouse probably didn't
have anymore and I would only be able to get the floor model if I wanted
the sale price they tried to sell me a hundred dollar support contract
(if you can't get anymore of them, how are you going to keep getting
parts for it down the road?)

Anyone have experience with these printers on the network working with
Ubuntu? I had a similar printer once that kept having paper feed
problems, but it was a different model, and where I work we normally
have had good luck with HP printers so I wrote the problematic system
off as a fluke.

Experiences to share would be appreciated, especially if it helps with
setup or things to look out for before the "return" period expires...
