Need help buying HP printer


I'm looking for a printer with the following features:

1) Any make (HP, Canon, Espon....) but preferably HP
2) A3 size
3) Must work in linux
4) lowest possible cost
5) To be used for printing "floor layouts" and other engineering CAD drawings (basically, lots of lines and a little bit of filling in some places)
6) No need for photo-printing

If anyone can please help me, or even just give a link or two to some good web-pages...

Thanks in advance.

I got off e-bay a Samsung ml1710 lazer printer for just under $100.00 thats with shipping. Works great with my suse 9.3 system. Only thing about it, its in black and white.
