New printer?

I'm thinking about getting a new printer. I have an HP Deskjet 895 Cse
which works just fine with two exceptions:
1) Under Linux, it prints about 2ppm at normal color resolution (and I
don't know enough to fine tune the ps to pcl process, etc. to make it go
faster). It's a whole lot faster in Windoze.
2) It doesn't do 2-sided (duplex) printing by itself (and that's almost
all the printing I do.) I've emulated duplex, but I still have to
shufffle the pages in out and back in, one print job at a time.
So, what I want is a similar printer that does duplex. It has to be
fully supported under Linux, of course. I'm not sure, but it seems like
a printer that can do native postscript (I have no idea if I need level
1, 2, or 99) would run a lot faster than one that does PCL, etc. where
the CPU has to translate all the ps to soemthing else before anything
prints.
Any suggestions?
