Anyone got a recommendation for a cheap (but good) colour laser printer that runs under CentOS-5.5 ?

I have no experience with color printers from Brother, but I'm extremely happy with my monochrome Brother laser printer. When I received it, I connected it via USB (to my then Centos 4 box) and up comes a dialog offering to configure the printer. ran thru it and voila.
I noticed a few months ago that places such as (but not limited to) Amazon had some Brother color laser printers for reasonable prices (under $300 US). here are a couple of examples from today:
http://www.amazon.com/Brother-HL-3040CN-Compact-Digital-Networking/dp/B002ON...
and
http://www.amazon.com/Brother-HL-3070CW-Compact-Wireless-Networking/dp/B002O...
as to whether or how well these work with Linux, I cannot say. Brother does, however, have Linux support (and drivers, should you need 'em) for many of their devices, so you could check their web page for any specific models of interest.
Good luck!

I have a Brother MFC-9120cn. It's probably overkill for the OPs requirements but it works very well with Linux. Brother even provide RPMs that allow you to use the scanner functions remotely, send faxes and so on.
Just because Brother go to that level of effort means I'd strongly recommend them!
Dunno what your needs are but I just baught a Samsung CLP-310 which works like a charm with a headless Debian Squeeze box and shared with CUPS, so it should work well with CentOS. You'll have to use the Samsung driver instead of splix, doesn't goes well with that model.

We have multiple Brother MFC-9840CDW and they work very well [they even support IPv6] ~2 cents a page.
Otherwise we have a HP 2550n that works very well; but is expensive to operate. ~7 cents a page.

We are quite happy with our Epson C2800n...
