I recommend to invest some more money and get an HP device. Not only that ink from Lexmark is extremely expensive, but also HP's devices are nearly completely supported. Only PC-assisted copying/faxing does not work. Printing, scanning, photo-card access, stand-alone (without PC) copying and faxing all works (on some Lexmarks copying and faxing only works through Windows software).
See http://hpoj.sf.net/ to see how well the HP devices are supported. I have the HP PSC 750 and 950 here and they work like a charm. These are my test boxes which I use for developing printerdrake and packaging HPOJ for Mandrake Linux. In general, you should abvoid every multi-function device not from HP, they all do not work better than "Partially".
