the lack. Apparently my wife needs one now though. It'll be plugged into<br>
my kids windows desktop, but I want to be able to print to it from my<br>
Linux laptop. I'm assuming I can share it out in wnidows and mount it<br>
with CUPS or something. I also want some for <$100.<br>
<br>
Anyone have a favorite printer that fits that?<br>
