Yes, but in fact the printing side is usually manageable -- the main problem being that CUPS mysteriously finds more and more copies of the network printer, and it is difficult to know which one to choose when setting up a new printer. The difficulty comes in persuading SANE to even see the machine on the network. Samsung have an excellent universal installer -- but when it fails on some distros, you are borked. > > > I used to use a Business Inkjet 1200 without problems, and currently use > an Officejet 6700 multifunction device (print/scan/fax).
