Some of the cheaper colour lasers have specific Linux drivers I think so you don't necessarily need postscript. If I remember right the it's either the Samsung or the Kyocera printers that have Linux drivers. You've got a fairly good chance of getting Linux drivers with HP printers too.
That would be fine as long as they don't restrict you to CUPS which I don't use.
Personally I'd go for a cheap[ish] colour inkjet and a cheap[ish] mono laser, unless you are short of space.
Space isn't the problem. It is that we don't print very often and the inkjet nozzles dry out and that means another £20 cartridge. At least, as far as I know, lasers still work perfectly well after having been left for weeks at a time.
It's not a problem I've suffered from significantly on my HP inkjets, I currently have an HP7310 which often doesn't print anything for quite a few days at a time (and we go on holidays sometimes!) and hasn't suffered from blocked jets.
