Does anyone have a suggestion for the above referenced machine, that installs without any hassle, special drivers, or anything else, to SuSE 9.3? It should be low cost, hopefully.

HP is the way to go for this. Their Linux support is outstanding and the functionality is very close to "that other OS".
You simply do not have to worry, whether it will work.
But: Be sure to have a detailed look at the "supported models" list, BEFORE you buy, though. http://hplip.sourceforge.net/supported_devices/index.html
Furthermore, as you are still on SuSE 9.3, most probably, you will have to do a manual installation. http://hplip.sourceforge.net/install/index.html
Imho, this is as close as you will get in regard to...

Kind regards Eberhard I was told several months ago that hplip does not work with systems below 10.0. Is this true or not? And if not true, how can I determine what value of hplip might be on the machine, if any?
