Well, I ended up purchasing a Epson Stylus CX6000.  It doesn't have  
the network capabilities that I wanted, but for the money it's pretty  
nice.

I was getting a error when I added the printer, specifically it was  
"Error -9672".  I checked Epson's web site for new drivers, but  
nope.  So I just logged in as the first user (I guess kinda like root  
in Linux) and then installed the drivers and it worked. Got me....,  
it prompted me for the root login / password under my normal login.

Anyways, I'd like to thank everyone for their suggestions / help!
