I bought a <A HREF="http://www.lexmark.com/US/Products/printers/0,2792,MTg0M3wx,00.html" target="_new">Lexmark Z43</A> and it works beautifully! I got it at Fry's for $99. It can do parallel as well as USB. Can print on many different weights of paper, including photo paper. 2400x1200, 12ppm black, 6ppm color. Good quality for the money.
I had a problem when I was running it with my old system. Although I think this was due to a problem with the MB's USB port (it was a Matsonic). On my new system, I set it up, and it was ready to print, no hassle! I used to have a Canon, and every time I went to print something, I would cross my fingers. Now with my new Lexmark, I know that I'm gonna get a full page of clean, crisp text and graphics as soon as I hit print.
