I second this advice.  Find out if the computer even knows you are 
connected.

Before my wife went digital with her photos and had to have a nicer 
printer, we got alot of use out of an Epson C40ux.  USB.  $5-6 ink 
cartridges online, $12-ish local.  Just works with Linux.  My kids have 
it now.  I don't know if they are discontinued or not.  It was $50 bucks 
brand new when we got it.

But, don't buy a new one till we get the one you have talking.
