Well feel free to disagree. The software has nothing to do with the copy function on an AIO. You don't even have to hook it up to a computer and it would work as a copier.The problem lies in the USB communications with a multi function device. The printing/scanning/fax software works fairly well when the machine is able to communicate with your computer.
I have a CanoScan LiDE and an HP DJ 845 and they handle copying nicely just by pressing a wee button on the scanner. Just one driver talking to another. The only function I am missing is the built in fax, which I could easily set up if I had a modem on my computer.
Try supporting the AIO POS for 2 years and you would change your tune PDQ (too many dang acronyms in this computer bidness...). Eight hours a day and nearly every call was AIO related. I was overjoyed when I would get a simple printer or scanner problem I could actually fix. The Mac team supported 114 different different HP product variations on 40 something different Mac OS versions. From the original DeskWriter until the PSC 950 when I left.
