Linux/Windows compatible multi printer?

by shanghai sam . Updated 24 years, 4 months ago

I’ve also posted this question on the Support/Linux forum but since I’m not sure if that’s the best place to ask this question I thought I’d also post it here.

……
I am in the market for a multi-function printer. I’d like to try to keep the price below $500 (if possible) and I’d like it to have scanning (prefer flatbed but if not possible will consider sheetfed), copying, faxing and of course printing.

I’ll use this printer for mine and my boyfriend’s home network. We only occassionally do any printing but I am hoping to use the scanning/copying abilities for some prints of my watercolor paintings and even some of my small w/c paintings themselves (hence the preference for flatbed).

Currently I have a dual boot Win98/Linux debian pc (which I am hoping to upgrade to WinXP/Linux) and his is a Redhat linux-only pc so linux driver availability is a big concern.

I would be interested in hearing anyone’s recommendations for a multi-function printer that would fit the above requirements.

Thank you,

Dana
