Thanks Nick but that is a Thermal Ink Jet right? As such, the per copy cost would be around 20c AFAIK. I am looking for a laser based model with PC costs around the 1.5c mark.
yes it is an inkjet. comments still apply re HP, though, and they may have what you want in their vast range ;-)

HP are probably your best bet, because they co-operate with linux driver writers and support projects like http://hpoj.sf.net and http://hpinkjet.sf.net
My HP PSC 2210 works well as a printer, scanner and media reader (cf and other cards that i don't have so can't try) under linux.
I haven't tried the faxing options, but it can't send a fax under computer control even in windows (even if you can get the drivers to work). I guess it will work as a regular fax machine (but has no sheet feeder).
Weird thing is i could not get the goddamn drivers supplied with it to work under windows 2000. Its so long since I tried I cannnot remember what the problem looked like, but it was all so brain dead and automated that there didn't seem any way to fix it. The best conclusion I came to was a motherboard/usb chipset problem, but it works under linux, so your guess is as good as mine.

Hi All,
Anyone gotten this printer to play nice with mandrake/Linux (any Laser MFP's for that matter)? If so, how?? Their product PDF shows a Penguin but I could find NO info re using it with Linux anywhere (Google or otherwise). And, there is no driver that I could see in MCC for it.
