Not a guarantee, but from linuxprinting.org:

BW laser printer, max. 1200x1200 dpi, works Perfectly
( PCL 5e, out of the box, parallel and USB connection, 250-sheet tray
built-in, extra 250-sheet tray available.
Inductive "Instant On" fuser for very fast pre-heating, first page
after around 8 seconds.)

BW laser printer, max. 1200x1200 dpi, works Perfectly
( PostScript level 3, PCL 5e, and PCL 6 out of the box, parallel and
USB connection, "n" models with ethernet connection, 250-sheet tray
built-in, extra 250- or 500-sheet tray available (included in "t"
models), duplex unit in "d" models.
The "L" model is software-compatible to the other models, it is only
somewhat slower (20 ppm instead of 25 ppm).

So any of those three should do the job.
