Mark, I don't know what you consider inexpensive but my home network uses two Brother MFC-5440CN multifunction units. I have them on a network but they do have USB interfaces and the Brother Linux driver support pages have drivers which work well under Centos 4.x and 5.0 . The Brother Linux support page is http://solutions.brother.com/linux/en_us/index.html if interrested. These units work quite well under both Linux and M$ and the print cartridges are cheap (aftermarket around $5 US). -w.arkwolf
