Printers supporting the good ol' JetDirect protocol, where you simply fling bytes @ port 9100, almost always work easy-peasy. It can't get easier than Postscript or PCL printers, where you can print by cat file.ps | nc -w 1 192.168.0.100 9100. It's pretty hard to screw that up.
Printers using that INSANELY over complicated Web Services for Devices (WSD) seem to have a huge footprint on Windows PCs, are resource intensive, require extra running services on the PC, seem to have a hard time with multiple instances of the printer on the same network, etc.

FWIW, you can screw it up pretty easily when you don't own your own router (it comes from your ISP), and it has some sort of subnet isolation thing going on.
