Any CentOS 5.6 friendly ink jet printers?

[Todd And Margo Chester]

Hi All,

   I have a sweet old duffer on CentOS 5.6, x32 with
an HP DJ 6940 printer on the USB bus.  CUPS like to
put it offline a lot, which frustrates the two of us.

   There is also no easy way to clean the heads (other
than a dubious command line program).

   Can anyone recommend a Linux friendly ink jet?  One
with a front panel control to clean the thing?  Must
be CUPS friendly too.

Many thanks,
-T
