Epson Basic Inkjet All-In-One Printer (TPE-XP5200)

If you're looking for a basic inexpensive all-in-one printer that works seamless with your GNU/Linux system look no farther. Unlike many low end printers on the market these days this Epson printer can be setup and used without having to connect it to the internet. You don't need to jump through any registration hoops or subscribe to a printer manufacturer's ink subscription service. While it may not be the absolute cheapest model on the market it's one of the lowest priced models relative to what it has on offer.
