I have a HP Deskjet 690C. I am not sure whether I can recommend
it. Anyway, Ghostscript from gs-alladin (the none-free Ghostscript)
that came with Debian Slink contains HPDJ drivers for the printers
that you mentioned. This seems to work at least reasonably well. I
have modified (hacked in a dirty way) a magicfilter script to get it running.
