By Eero Volotinen at 05/26/2011 - 12:43

Hi List,

I am looking for good multifunction (fax, scanner, ..) color network
laser printer for Linux, any ideas?
specs:

- Linux, Windows and OSX support on printer and also on scanner.
- A4 papersize

The scanner part is tough. I'd love to see some good support for Epson.
I've got a Perfection 4180 connected by USB and an 11x17 network scanner,
but currently I do all my scanning through Windows.

FWIW, at my office we have a Brother all-in-one unit. I can't remember
the model number, sorry, but it is one that was between 400 and 500
US dollars at Staples. (it's monochrome, BTW, not the color the OP
wants.)

My Centos 5 box at my desk works fine with the printer and the scanner
portions, using Brother's drivers. I haven't attempted to FAX from my
computer using the MFC, but there are drivers for that on the Brother
web site.

I would expect (but have no direct knowledge) similar good results
with pretty much any of Brother's MFC units. YMMV.

Huh. Haven't used it in a while, but my vintage 1998 Umax SCSI scanner has
always worked fine under linux.

was a big part of what dragged me from HP after having been a fan of
LaserJets for many years.

HP 6150C scanner/printer. Works well with hplip and cups.
Remote scanning works better on Linux than Windows.
