" debian and cups? forget it. "
Bull. I use nothing but Debian and CUPS. Samsung ML1710 -- works perfectly. Samsung ML1740 -- works perfectly. HP Photosmart 7350 -- works perfectly (from letters to glossy photos). Star NX2420 (yeah, it's a relic, but nothing beats a dot matrix for mule work) -- works perfectly. Epson Perfection 600 -- works perfectly.
I've had to set up a couple of small local businesses (sole proprietors) with Debian systems. In each case the pointy-haired boss ran out and bought one of those cheap little HP all-in-one inkjets. All I had to do was use the 'drivers' recommended by http://hpinkjet.sourceforge.net (which amounted to apt-get install hpijs but you can use synaptic if you have to have something to click) and use the CUPS web admin tool (http://localhost:631/admin), choose the interface (each was USB) and a name. No problems. Surprisingly, Xsane noticed the scanner side of each right away, too.
The only problem I ever had with CUPS was trying to get a dinky Lexmark inkjet to work. I failed, but even Lexmark can't figure out how to get those things to work; they are nothing but Win-junk.
