Definitely Linux friendly and compact. Imo, HP Laser printers are the cat's pyjamas but ymmv.
My mileage does vary because I hate the small HP printers, the low end ones use nasty foil belt fusers which die frequently and write the printer off and I think last time I looked they worked out more expensive per page than anything else.
Oh and not that it matters here but never ever use the CD to install an HP printer on Windows...1GB of crudware for a printer...thanks HP, even the "minimal" installer tends to have a nice collection of software to take over the perfectly functional print spooler, provide links to buy consumables from your taskbar and nag you frequently for not giving HP marketing your contact details.
I'd say Brother probably make the best small lasers, Samsung also make some nice ones..both of which tend to work out cheaper per page than HP and AFAIK they are all Linux friendly
