Most, the trick is to get one that understands a recognised protocol 
such as PCL or Postscript, as most of these will also work as plain text 
printers. Unfortunatly this tends to be the higher end printers, also it 
seems that most cheap printers these days are USB only, which also cuts 
down on the possibilities :(

Cheers.
