thanks to all who answered my questions, I bought a HP deskjet F4488. It
scans, copies and prints both colour and black. I plugged it in, went to
kwrite, clicked on 'print' - it recognised it as Hp 4400 series and
printed without a murmur. Then I clicked on scan - it scanned. No need
to install or configure anything. Copier of course does not need the
computer. The print is a bit hazy - I think I went about aligning the
cartridges wrong. Distro fedora 12. The printer costs 4K in Ooty.

If the print is hazy, try adjusting the side bar on the paper load tray, so
that it fits to the size of the paper.
The only downside is that printing in Linux consumes more ink. You could deduce
this from the wet paper that comes out.
Also it is recommended that you buy a new catridge. The one that came with your
printer is just an introductory catridge and would last for only 60 pages. A
new catridge costs around Rs.350 (original HP as well as compatible types). I
would suggest buying a compatible catridge over original. A refill would give
you a print of approx 200 pages.
Also learn to refill the catridge, this would be handy. Refilling a catridge in
Chennai costs Rs.50 at a minimum and Rs.100 at a max. "How to refill" videos
available in youtube!!?
