said by garywk :Are you stuck on a standalone scanner? I've had really good luck with just about all the all-in-one OfficeJets from HP. HP is pretty much Linux-friendly in this area. They even officially support Debian on some of their servers. No not paerticularly, but I have a perfectly good Linux compat Dell COLOR LASER printer, and Fax machine.... just need a SCANNER.... AND AGAIN JUST AS SOON NOT EVERYTHING DOES'T ALL CRAP OUT AT ONCE, as all in ones tend to do when they go bad..

| Actually, I AM stuck on a stand alone. Not for the reason that everything craps out at once, but because if one part of it fails, you need to replace the whole unit.
Also as Hayward mentioned before, it's a quality issue.

I went all-in-one for lack of desk space. I just brought up the all-in-ones from HP because there is good Linux support for them.
