Linux forum: Inkjet recommendations wanted

I asked the moderators here and that's what I bought.

HOWEVER when it comes to photos I think a photo printer is best.

Today, it's pretty well useless to say "I want a printer but I don't want a scanner or copier in it", because there are a LOT of consumer-level printers with these features, and you often pay more for the privilege of getting one without a scanner built-in.

I have the HP Photosmart B110a. It has separate color ink cartridges. It cost me $77. It works quickly and efficiently, and was very easy to set up, on Ubuntu. It works on Windows 7 but took a while to set up - Windows' fault I imagine because it was trivially easy to set up on Ubuntu. Oh, and it works through wifi (or USB) and supports Google Cloud Print and HP ePrint, so you can print to your printer from anywhere where there's e-mail, or any Android device.

Can't comment on the photo print quality. Here in Australia you'd have to be a chump to print photos onto photo paper yourself, because shops like Big W print them below cost. I imagine the quality is fine, the printer is called Photosmart and I think there's a photo cartridge for it too, so I guess it's okay.

HP Printers are a sure bet to work, they are exceptions though.

If they have a Network Card (NIC) 99% of the time will work with CUPS.

Agree with the reply by 3rdalbum re. HP Photosmart. An additional advantage is that it unlike its competitors
has HP's HPLIP application for Linux, which enables ink level checks.

I'm old enough to know what I want, and what I don't want. If I have to pay more to get what I do want, thats alot better than cheap price for crapola I don't want, and will not settle for. I like bargains but buying junk I don't want ain't no bargain! I don't do 'multifunction' anything, be it printer/fax/copier, TV/DVD player, etc. Anyway, I think I made my post quite clear and specific as to what I require (and what is not acceptable). About the only thing I forgot to mention is that I also don't want any wireless stuff. Now if anyone has any recommendations that actually conform to my requirements, Id love to hear them!
