Back in the FC3 days, I was helping a person convert to Fedora from Window$. They had an HP 1320 Printer, scanner, copier. The Linux drivers at that time could support it either as a printer or a scanner but not both. I ended up attaching it to a box running Window$ and let it go at that.
Does anyone have any recent experience connecting these type devices to a Linux box? Are the HP PSC devices now fully supported?
Thanks for any advice.

I'm not sure for your specific model, but once you have the HP software that is available in Fedora, (and installed by default) your PSC shoudl work pefectly. Both printing and scanning work with my HP PSC 1410

I don't have any problems at all with my HP DeskJet F335 All in one. I did have to install the hp_ijs drivers for the scanning part (I think it's the ijs drivers (and the hp_lip drivers for good measure). Configuration was a snap and I"ve had no trouble with it at all.

Greetings Bob,
I have been running a HP PSC 2110 for a few years with different versions of FC with no problems.

It's also worth considering a Brother MF device. One such was put on this LAN a few months ago, and I discovered that with the drivers supplied by Brother (on their website - there's no mention of linux in the manual supplied) I could remotely print and scan. I was quite impressed.

Thanks for all the responses. I will set up a test machine and see if I can get printing and scanning working with FC6. My purpose in asking was that a friend of mine's machine is beginning to fail and the were appalled with the the way Micro$oft was ripping them off on Office applications. They are considering switching to Linux and I am personally interested in seeing that their transition goes smoothly.
Currently I have them experimenting with Open Office on their Windows box to convince themselves that they can interchange documents and spread sheets with people using Micro$oft Office.

HP PSC 1210 - prints/scans for me with FC6. All I had to do check HPLIP was runninig, plug it in, and and the HPLIP variant in CUPS. After that, it was also available to the hp-toolbox functions (ink levels, etc).
Good Luck! Chris

and drifting A LITTLE off-topic... I bought recently a brother laser printer (HL-2070N) and it works like a charm without any effort at all. I'm using Centos-4.4 at home. plugged in the USB cable from the printer and up pops a configuration dialog. accepted defaults and voila! it's been working ever since. (Not a MF device, I know, and they tend to be different...).

The one I mentioned had usb and ethernet connections. It's good to see Brother supporting linux. I've used HP for years, but having an alternative is always good.
