Yeah, it comes with a Canon BJC-250 Color printer. Deduct the printer and the monitor, and it's awfully close to the $1000 system everybody talks about. Here is the current configuration from their web page:

The x2 modem is actually an OEM version of the US Robotics Sportster with voice capabilities, it's nice.

This seems like a very competitively priced machine!
