Peter Ok short a simple answer. I have a HP Photosmart C3180 all in one Printer/Scanner/Copier. Cost me $79 a while back and works out of the box. Very well too. must say was a major improvement on my old Cannon. Not sure if the still sell them though as its almost a year old now. HP seems to put a lot of effort into Linux printing drivers. Oh and the scanner works great too. Good Luck Leslie
