I've just got an Epson R210 inkjet for She-Who-Must-Be-Obeyed, and we're both pleased with it. She drives it with Mandrake 10.1; I've got Ubuntu 5.04; both of us use CUPS. If Epson's figures are accurate, its cost-per-page should be a lot lower than older generation inkjets. It was $200 at Warehouse Stationery. (If you can't find an R210 driver, the R200 driver is identical. I've found Epson generally supportive of Linux.) =====Andrew
