I have a Brother MFC-5460CN - that is an inkjet that also scans, photocopies & will fax.
It has 4 cartridges (black + 3 colours). Usual ruinous prices on the cartrdiges, but
I have recently found that I can get a complete set for a tenner from:

No, not listed on their web site - you have to phone/email -- they are quite friendly/efficient.

Connected via USB, no problem with CUPS or Sane (I am running CentOS 5.4).
