Any laser printer from HP that is networkable should work great with
Linux, without any proprietary drivers.  You might try Midwest
Computer Brokers and see if they have anything used on hand.

For Google Cloud printing if you have a PC that can keep a Chrome
browser open you can use that to forward print jobs from the cloud to
the printer.

Lantronix makes a print server that can hook printers up to Google
Cloud printing but unless you use it a lot it's probably too
expensive.
