Hi,
is anybody successfully using an all-in-one printer/scanner on
Slackware? I can't find in local stores anything listed both on
http://www.sane-project.org/sane-mfgs.html
and
http://www.cups.org/ppd.php

TIA

Recently, I have had good results with the HP Office Jets- at least with
Slackware 12.2+. IIRC, I upgraded the hplip package to hplip-3.9.12 under
slack 12.2 to get past some bugs. Probably, that is not necessary now
that hplip-3.10.2 is provided with slack 13.1. I just took a look at the
cups interface, and I see it has been slightly revamped in 13.1. Also, I
had to "hammer" on it a bit to get the HP printer added- for whatever
reason the "hp-setup" command did not work, probably because it needed
root priviledge but did not prompt for the root password the way that
cups does. Once installed the HPs works great- at least for the HP
equipment that I have.

Last year, I bought an HP OfficeJet J4680 All-in-one Printer/Scanner/Fax
that I use on my Slackware 12.0 system. I had to upgrade HPLIP to version
2.8.10, though. But, this got me the J4680 PPD /and/ the sane driver for
the scanner.

I don't print-to-fax, and haven't tried /that/ portion of the HPLIP/CUPS
interface. However, I've successfully printed to the printer, and scanned
from the printer, all under software control.

I concur. Recently added an HP OfficeJet 6500 to the home LAN (it's got
it's own ethernet port), and it works absolutely great. Love it.
