Hi John, I have a Dell 1600n network printer/fax/copier/scanner running with Debian.
Network printing is fine with a generic postscript driver. The printer is a monochrome laser. There are also colour ones in the series but I've never used one. When I bought it I didn't find any Linux network scanning support but I have written a perl script which works as a driver for JPEG (200dpi colour) and TIFF (monochrome) network scanning. See http://www.jon.demon.co.uk/dell1600n-net-scan. The current status of the driver is "basic but working". I don't know how well the USB interface works under Linux as I don't have any computers that are new enough to support it.... regards, Jon ====================== Jon Chambers ===================== http://www.jon.demon.co.uk, 020 8575 7097, 07969 956575 ========================================================= On Mon, 27 Jun 2005, John (yt) Hogenmiller wrote: > Hi, > > I would like to setup a multi-function device (printer/scanner) to > work off of the network.
