I have never understood why Kiwi's are so enamored with Inkjets! The

fiddly, expensive and a general PITA and their print quality in my
experience aint great.
the Deskjet 400, and there seem to be a few references to Linux drivers

before taking this advice it might be worth considering the relative ratings on the vendor report cards:
http://www.linuxprinting.org/vendors.html
HP - excellent "The vendor has actively participated in driver development, provides a technical point of contact, and is actively supporting Free Software by providing Open Source and Free print drivers for their products. These vendors show a genuine interest in supporting Linux, and we highly recommend their products over all others. "
Still wouldn't buy HP crap
