I have a HP 6150 all-in-1 with wireless, USB, and wired
capabilities.  It works well for almost all I need to do.
Wireless photo printing is slow, however.  I have not
tried using the FAX capabilities via wireless.

PROS:
- easy to setup
- works well with Linux, WinXP, WinVista, etc.
- can place the printer anywhere (centralized, in my kitchen)
- most printing functions work well (draft, normal, photo)

CONS:
- possible security issues (it's wireless....)
- slower than wired, especially for photos
- have to use USB to access the scanner (not yet tested with F10)
  [Note that I can scan via wireless from Windows.]
- cups won't print photos using the photo tray (4x6 photos)
  [Not yet tested with F10.]

Cheers,
