Hi Marco,

I've said it before and I'll say it again, never buy a multifunction
"because it works with linux". But a multifunction because it works with
everything. I only buy multifunction printers that can scan documents to a
network storage so it just works with any device and doesn't rely on
someone updating drivers for an old device every new linux release. I just
press the scan button on the printer and it appears on whatever device in
my network I choose.

I've had HP, Fuji Xerox, Brother, all work fine for me and never once had
to even think about drivers.

Regards,

Jared Norris
