I have had an HP printer-scanner-copier for July, 1999. The model I have is the OfficeJet R40, which has been replaced by newer models. It has been working well for me. Mine cost about 600$ when new and did not have scanner support at the time. Then the HPOfficeJet project happened and all is well. Some new HP printer-scanner-copiers cost less than half of what I paid. I just installed Fedora 3 and still have it all working. paul -- Paul F. Almquist paul@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Eau Claire, WI USA
