    I have an Epson Stylus C88 that works out of the box with Ubuntu, Ive used it with my machines since 6.10. Can't say on the ink mileage tho, I guess it's fine.

    Not to be a HP fanboy, but I'm really digging my HP Photosmart C1680 AIO, drivers work, shared between WinXP and linux machines..just love it. Ink? are there those that use less? maybe but the HP is not a drunken fool.
