My first choice would be a HP all in one ( they sell these cheap ) at least for scanning ( ink does cost for any ink jet printer ) another note is the lower end models seems to function pretty well ( now i remember something about there windows drivers lowering the ability but the linux driver is the same for them all ) i use one just for scanning , i use a apple 16/600 laser (cheap for B&W ) for B&W and thinking of getting a phaser for color (prices are coming down ) one thing i hate about ink jets are the ink drys before you can use it all and it Costs way to much. ( Biggest scam ever )<br>
<br>for printing black and white get a laser printer ( you will save money ) <br>for printing mass color get a color laser or xerox phaser printer. ( i think the phaser is cheaper you have to buy the dry ink in 4 colors and less parts to replace over a standard color laser and there ppm is full color pages ) ( also these go from 300-^ hmm maybe even 200+ now ) From what i have seen lasers have much better quality then Ink jets. <br>

Thanks for the Open printing list, It will be useful during my search. Seems HP has a lot of support so they'll be at the top of my list. Ubuntu seems to play well with them too. Thanks again.<br><font color="#888888"><br>
