I Googled and looked at the archives but there's not much here about
printing music notation. I'm needing to buy a printer that will be
ideal for score printing and also plays well with Debian/DeMuDi.
Since I don't really need colour, I'd prefer a laser printer.

I've looked at the very informative pages about Linux Printing:
http://www.linuxprinting.org/suggested.html
...and am considering getting a Kyocera Mita FS-920, FS-1010N or FS1020
or maybe something else by another penguin-loving company.

I have a Kyocera (Kyocera-Mita) FS-1020D (Duplex--can print on both
sides of the paper) laser printer, and it works very well. It's own .ppd
file (Postcript Printer Definition file), which is included on the CD
that comes with the printer or can be downloaded from the Internet,
works very well with the printer and CUPS (Common Unix Printing System),
without the need for filtering through Ghostscript.
I like the printer very much, and use it to print scores I have produced
using LilyPond. It has excellent black-and-white output.
