Speaking of SANE and scanning, I just picked up a refurbished HP PSC 1210 Printer, Scanner, Copier from Office Max for $60 ($80 less a $20 rebate).
This isn't an endorsement for Office Max or HP, but I just wanted to let anybody who's looking to save some deskspace that all three parts work great in Linux. printer: hpijs/cups (printer should support 1200x1200, but driver only supports 600x600) scanner: hpoj/sane - flawless scans up to 600dpi* copier: hardware, just press the bottons on the device (*) The only caveat is that every time I scan, cupsd gets confused and I have to kill a few things and restart cups to be able to print again. This problem is documented and supposedly fixed in a CVS version of hpoj, which i haven't tried yet... On Thu, 1 Apr 2004, Bill Kendrick wrote: > On Thu, Apr 01, 2004 at 11:45:33AM -0800, Mark K.
