If your printing requirements aren't very high, check uot the hp psc 12xx and 13xx (they might be up to higher numbers now...). My 1210 works great with hplip/cups in sid. My mother's 1315 works great with hplip on her iMac G3 Ubuntu box. They're pretty inexpensive machines and work really well with linux. That said, as for most inkjets, printing is not cheap. If you do a LOT of printing, I'd go with seperate devices for the cheaper/page printing of lasers. ymmv, .02 etc A
