I had an HP D1300 (REAL inexpensive, but the power supply crapped out 
and the realities of life are that a new one (power supply) would end up 
costing more than the silly little printer did in the first place.

I just checked out Staples and they have an HP Photosmart C4580 Inket 
All-in-One that ends up being $104 out the door and is supported 
(according to http://hplipopensource.com/hplip-web) by HPLIP. Next 
questions will be how to make it work when I can't figure it out1 :)

Thanks everyone for their input....
