HP has good support for their multifunction devices, I think the two I set up
were the officejet 8500 models. Printing worked fine on wireless..scanning
takes a USB connection..scanning was not supported on wirelesss. I use Debian
and both HPCUPS & HPLIP are installed.

ps, I would never spend 79.99 on a printer, way to cheap to be useful :-)
