If you are looking for an All-In-One... A Printer/Scanner/Copier

I've had an Epson RX600 for a few years... though the Ink is a bit
pricey, it is a six cartridge printer and lasts a while, that is if you
put it in draft mode fo 90% of printing. Otherwise everything comes out
WET.

The only time i put it in full quality mode is for NICE pictures. They
are nice when they come out.

The inks are: (Cyan (C), Light Cyan(c), Magneta(m), Light Magneta(m),
Yellow(y), Black(K)

And lookey that $199 with two instant rebates $129.99:

Operating Systems

      * Windows Vista™ XP Professional x64, XP, 2000
      * Mac OS® X 10.2.8, 10.3.9 –10.4.x or later (PowerPC® or Intel®
        processor)

But since we all know that OSX uses CUPS, then so can Linux. Just grab
the PPD and put it in place.

Oh and you can buy it at Best Buy online only it appears... though the
RX595 is available... similar configuration but cheaper.
