I have to agree with all of Jamie's points. We sell Xerox here at work but I use an HP1220c at home (on Linux)

Expensive cartridges that can't be refilled easily. There are a number of places that refil HP cartridges so it can't be that difficult. The simple fact is that when it comes to printers HP are some of the most 'Linux compatible' around, I agree that Inkjets are not cost effective for heavy use but you can easily purchase an HP Laser printer from around the $420 mark for a very basic printer, up to around $1000 for something a little more hard wearing.
