Can't comment on that, but I've a nice little Epson C42UX Usb printer sitting here that just works
Funny, I have one of those and it's crap :) (awful print quality) It does work in Linux though...
Ahh - now there's several drivers for it, picking the wrong one results in crap print quality... selecting the right one results in much *much* better print quality. It's not a bad printer, and fairly cheap to run, the tools "just work" (mtink), and I haven't had any problems with it.
It works rather nicely with cups and gimp print, so, who cares :)
(oh, and I don't particularly like HP inkjets, IME they eat ink, and have a short life span)
