Yesterday picked up an HP Deskjet 2050 Multi Function unit from the
GoodGuys for $39 ( marked $44).
Booted Linux Mint 11 ( Gnome) and fired up Simple Scanner. Device found
and installed - scanned straight away. Only tried with 1/2 page
newspaper pic but quality was OK for the source ( newsprint pics aint
good) and for the price.
Havent even installed the ink-cartridges yety as I have a HP Deskjet for
colour and an old Canon BJ230 for b @ W.
At least the MFU works without ink - I remember that I couldnt do that
with an old Brother device.
