Re: Any such thing as out of box/easy found driver Linux Scanner
Well again I know of that but rather not go through a LOT of SIFTING/price checking.... was really looking for a basic recommendation for medium level quality (like 2400dpi standard page... legal might be nice... maybe with transp capability)/cost and overall functionallity compared to WIN/Mac.

| I found out Brother printers and scanners work pretty good with Linux. Brother has all the drivers on their site. I have a Brother scanner/printer/fax and have not had any problems. It didn't work "out of the box" however it only took the double click of a rpm file to install. |

| I believe the driver was on the CD however I went to Brothers web site and search for "linux" and they had updated drivers so I used those. Go look around their site and pick out a printer and search for the driver. Here is their Linux page:

4 edits | Well again the postscript capable DELL Printer even the generic Color Laser Driver works quite well, again even some options that never did under WIN.... only thing really missing is the toner GAS GUAGE..
Issue at the moment is scanner.
I HATE all in one solutions (print/scan/fax).... FUP's loose everything. (As well as spec usually big compromise)
