Win2K compatible printers

Are there any printers out there that can still work to some extent with Windows 2000? I have an HP OfficeJet 7310 that is having problems (carriage jam) and if I can't fix it, would like know if there is a replacement that could still work with that old computer, even if it might work by using drivers for some older printer?

Printers that take some standard format (Postscript, PCL, straight ASCII, etc.) should work with other devices' drivers.

Personally, I'd look on craigslist, in thrift stores, or on eBay for an older printer that has driver for W2K. Last time I got a printer + 2 unopened cartridges for less than the retail cost of the ink cartridges.
