My Hewlett-Packard All-in-One PSC 1350 works brilliantly with Ubuntu -
detects it automatically (assuming it's switched during installation,
otherwise it's just a case of going to Printers and selecting New
Printer, where it will detect it automatically) and installs the printer
and scanner drivers easily enough. Print-out quality is top-notch and
scanner quality is pretty good too.

Unfortunately I can't say if they're still available brand new, but
scanning around on Ebay quickly suggests you may be able to get a decent
one for 40-50 € (about $50-60). I think HP are now offering a more
recent model of the PSC (Printer-Scanner-Copier) series which I would
suggest is the same if not even better for around 80€ new.
