I currently have an HP OfficeJet G85(xi) and the scanner works great in
Linux, using hpijs, hpoj and sane. My brother also has an HP PSC 5xx
that works equally well, though it requires the newer hplip software.
It's all software available in Debian, though I don't remember how much
of it is in Sarge. I am currently running Sid.
HTH,
Jacob
