Cheap, reasonably reliable, and they produce good printouts.

HP actively supports Linux, over time it's had several projects at

$$$$$ - the ONLY reason I don't use HP.  This is for home use.  This one
time I needed a scanner, and the MP160 was (uh oh, I know I'm going to
regret saying this) refurbished and available for less than any scanner
around, PLUS I occasionally like to produce color printouts.  At least I
have XP-on-VMWare as a backup for printing those things that Linux won't,
like most of my graphics pdfs (AR prints them on Windows, kills the printer
on Linux), any image file (same thing for gimp vs. Photoshop Elements 2.0 or
even the Windows file viewer), certain web pages that just don't print right
in SeaMonkey (or Firefox) on Linux but are fine in SeaMonkey or IE from
Windows.

God!  I hate to admit it when anything works better in Windows, but at least
the OS doesn't....  :-)
