I've got two HP 925C's that are USB only. $19.99 at Office Max after the
$30 rebate from the sale price of $49.99.  Can't beat that.

Plug it in, *BEEP*, hey look, there's a /dev/usb/lp0!  Step through R8's
printer wizard picking the appropriate driver (IJS) and /dev/usb/lp0,
and out slides a lovely test page.  On to next task....
