Oh, I feel your pain, and won't go back there. |

When we moved back to the States and opened the comp shop, we bought a |
| 50 |
HP Officejet Pro 8500 A910. It does everything (including scanning) from an |
| 51 |
embedded webserver. Just type it's IP in your browser and you can do whatever |
| 52 |
you want with a multifunction printer. Scanning has never been easier, the |
| 53 |
quality has never been even close, and it's so extremely nice to have a |
| 54 |
printer that works ... every function. |
| 55 |
|
| 56 |
We've always used HP printers with Linux because they supply drivers; but now, |
| 57 |
more than ever, I wouldn't consider anything else. |

Just my 2c... |
