[clug-talk] scanner for linux

[Wendell Nichols]

I have an HP multifunction (HP Photosmart c7250) printer/fax/scanner.  
HP provides linux drivers and a management applicaiton.  It has wired 
and wireless networking hence its on my home network.  I can print, fax 
and scan from anywhere in the house.  Works very well as would most of 
HP's gear.
My only problem with this particular unit is that it guzzles ink and  
the ink cartridges are expensive.  Also, invariably, when I go to print 
on it its been idle for a few days and it launches into a self 
diagnostic and head cleaning operation that is both loud and slow.  If 
I'm on the phone I have to leave the office to be heard!
