Ok granted I do work for HP, but... The latest printer they gave to teleworkers is an OfficeJet 6500 which is a home/SMB printer/scan/fax that sits on the desk. It is wired or wireless network. CUPS and Win/Vista has no problem printing directly to it, duplex and other 'printing profiles' (black only, photo, etc). And xsane works just great with it as well. No config hacking required.
