I have no experience with that printer. Howver I can suggest another
similarly-priced printer that I do own and which works great for me.
I've got a Brother HL-2070N which is available for various prices, 
at the moment I see New Egg has it for $139--others may have lower
prices, I haven't looked.

Brother provides Linux-compatible drivers for it, but with my Centos
4.5 system I didn't need to do ANYTHING except plug in the USB cable
and answer a few prompts that automatically popped up.

the HL-2070N comes with parallel, USB, and ethernet ports. If you don't
need the ethernet, the HL-2040 appears to be functionally equivalent
except for the lack of network. At Newegg, right now, it's about $27
less than the 2070N.

Ah. Even better,... I see that amazon has the HL-2070N for 99.99 USD
with free shipping. (that's where I got mine, but it was $133 at that
time.)

I don't work for Brother, I'm just a happy owner of one!

Whatever you decide to buy, be sure to visit the printing database at
http://www.linux-foundation.org/en/OpenPrinting before you plunk down
your money.
