I have the 1600 Chris refers to. It has a usb port & cups 1.3.0 did not
do a good job of setting it up. Getting the uri correct was the problem
(my lack of knowledge?) I also have it running under cups 1.2.9 and it
just goes. the 2600 version has an ethernet port and I think usb as
well. It prints reasonable photos as well as great text.

While not as good as a modern ink-jet, the colour rendering is pretty
good, especially when you take the cost of the printer into account.
HP make their money on the cost of the inks and toners.
