I recently bought a HP 2605dn. It works quite well with
CUPS (though the debian CUPS installtion was a real pain).

Colour works fine, PS output too, haven't tried PCL yet
(although it's supposed to give better results). 
The only two things that i don't like is that
1) The printer doesn't support IPP (don't ask me why)
2) Sometimes duplexer works, sometimes not (i suspect
something within the PS generation on my desktop, but
haven't been able to trace it down yet)

Oh yes, you have to use the HP supplied CUPS drivers.
