If you buy an AiO product (officejet, psc, etc) scanning is supported through the hpoj driver. Cory Hp linux imaging and printing team=20 -----Original Message----- From: hpo...@li...

It is certainly good to see projects like this one, and I appreciate HP's efforts in that regard.

Thanks for the reply. I went with an HP LaserJet 1300 for printing, but I'm still looking for a decent ADF (sheetfed) scanning solution (>10 ppm scanning speed). Are there any AiO products that you (or anyone else here) would recommend for ADF scanning with good speed and reliability? Considering the high prices of standalone ADF scanners, I'd consider buying an inkjet AiO for the ADF scanning alone.

I'm using a 5510. I understand the 10 is the country code, so I don't know if it's the same as a 5550. If I had read all the directions and made SURE I specified the proper version when I used apt-get to install, it would have been easier to setup on Linux than on Windows. (Some of the earlier drivers allow scanning but not printing.) The 5510 will take up to 20 sheets through a sheetfeeder, is a good printer, and does fax (I haven't tested fax yet.) Overall, I'm quite happy with mine. Hal |

I haven't taxed mine with ADF scanning (couple pages, though), but am very pleased overall with the HP OJ 7130. jbh |
