HP 762C, according to my complaint.  

My inkjet adventure was decidedly negative.  

I got OK output, slowly, via ghostscript.  I tend not to print anything
for weeks or months, and then want to print 20 pages at once.  I lost
track of the number of $40 cartridges that dried out while they were off
duty.  

A year or so after switching to NetBSD, my hardly used printer started
making a lot of noise and no images.  It was out of warranty.  I don't
know if it was a piece of junk or if the ghostscript driver treated it
badly.  

Given the cost of consumables, the laser will be the far cheaper, even at
$400.  And "lpr *.ps" Just Works (tm).
