Just to be contrary... I have an HP PSC 1315. Linux support for printing 
and scanning is great, and in several years of (very light) usage I've 
yet to replace the ink cartridge. When it's time, I'll just order a 
remanufactured one from inksell.com. Perhaps their newer printers are of 
lower quality, or maybe the models geared for businesses work 
differently, but from my home-user perspective this printer/scanner was 
a great purchase.
