Don't get the HP 720 series - these are winprinters, and not
generally supported by Linux.

WalMart was blowing out the HP 697C for $98.  Haven't given it a complete
workout, but it doesn't look bad.

I've been using two HP 695C printers for the past several months with Linux
2.2.5 and they both work flawlessly.  Both WP 8.0 and StarOffice 5.0 have no
problem printing with it!!

Just a "heads-up" here... I just went to their website
(which may have different prices than in the local stores)
and the model they are offering on the website for $98 is
NOT the 697c, it's the HP 420c which is MUCH slower on
printing (3ppm in bw, 4-7 minutes per page in color, vs
5ppm in bw,  1.7ppm in color for the HP 697c.) The
listing on the Wal-Mart site (www.wal-mart.com) is $148 US
for the HP 697c, still a darn good buy, I think! G
