I'm just wondering, does the multifunction printer/scanner work properly under Linux - as both printer & scanner?
Yes it does. for printing I am using LPRng and the Foomatic driver. SuSE stuff does not work with it---I mean YAST's Autodetect printer does not work. Scanning works without a glitch. I wanted to use HP because HP is very good to OPen Source world and is itself sponsoring the office jet driver development. Plus it was a device that my wife waned.
Also, if you've still got the Astra 3400, you might want to know that it's supported under Linux by Hamrick Software's VueScan package.
Ahh...good...I may give it a try.Salman
