Maybe this might fit in your son's budget. I, too, have this 3 in 1 Hp and I love it. I also have a stand alone fax machine (brother Intellifax 1270, which my office provided).

I have used it daily for months and am still using the original ink supply that came with it. May Tangerine clamshell iBook running OS 9.2.2
