HP have excellent linux support for the scanner element in their network multifunctionals.
Does any other manufacturer these days have equally good support for network scanning with SANE?
I'm looking to replace an HP C6180 inkjet+scanner that worked well, but the ink is pricey and it's old and getting decrepid.
HP seen to be a little short of options in the 300-400 price range and the
500 quid ones are not getting good user reviews.I'm pretty sure Canon will not have good linux support but I'm not up on Dell, Samsung, lexmark etc.
I'll research this more, but some pointers to limit the options would be handy :)
Cheers,
Tim
