I guess, it seems fairly stable on my desktop and since it's not doing 
anything mission critical then I'm sure it'll be fine.

I've just had a look at the printer, I didn't realise it's a 
printer/scanner/copier!

It is supported on Linux (it's a Samsung CLX-2160 Colour 
Laser/Scanner/Copier) which is supplied with Linux drivers.  Sods law 
though I bet installing the Linux drivers will only allow me to print 
from Windows and not scan from the Windows machine over the network.

Saying that though, Samsung do have a networked version of the printer 
so maybe it's possible.

I'll have a look at the Windows driver and see what it says.
