And the 2200D, which works without fuss from Linux, including the duplex 
function.  I bought this in 2001, and it's been going strong ever since. 
In all those years, I've maybe had about 1 paper jam per year. I don't 
know what they're doing nowadays, but this is one
really nice printer. I also have a DeskJet (ink-jet) printer from HP,
and it works perfectly from Linux, but its duplex function is
hosed--not having anything to do with Linux, it just jams.
