If you do find one, send a note to the list.  I'm not sure if there  
is even ONE multi-function printer out there that fully works with  
Linux.  I was looking for one a year or so ago and couldn't find  
any.  Even Epson, which is usually very good with Linux support, was  
lacking.  Usually, you could get the printer to work but the scanner  
was iffy.

I ended up getting a separate printer and scanner and haven't been  
100% satisfied with that arrangement.  Doing a copy and fax, while  
possible, has been more of a pain than it should be.
