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.
