Yes, the HP Laserjets usually have really good support with PCL and 
sometimes even Postscript.
You said you've got a HP (Laserjet?) 2300?
On http://www.openprinting.org/printer/HP/HP-LaserJet_2300 it says that 
printer "works perfectly" and supports PCL 5e, PCL6 and Postscript level 3.

Generally http://www.openprinting.org/printers is a really good page to 
see if a printer has Linux-support and where to get drivers etc.
