What they said. I´ve now had an Officejet 7130 for almost three years 
and it's needed nothing except ink and one replacement ($50) printhead. 
At the time, $650 seemed pricey but it had a JetDirect built-in and 
duplex too. Well supported under Linux by HP, though I wish I could 
receive faxes into the PC.

Since then I've been involved in the install of some newer Officejets 
and they seemed to work fine too.

As for routers, what about those Linksys units that can be flashed with 
Linux?
