Re: debian: Recommendation for scanner/printer/fax/copier
Try the Brother MFC-9600. It's a great value for the money. It's a
laser printer, copier, and fax in one for only about $600 US. It's not
network ready so you would have to hook it up to either a PC or one of
those small HP JetDirect PrintServers. I don't think it has native
postscript (that always seems to cost a lot more). I shopped around
looking at HP, Xerox, Cannon and others, but nobody put the complete
package (with laser) together for a price anywhere near the Brother
model. That was about 6 mo. ago so there may be some newer models out
there, but I doubt it.

Hi,
I'm running an Apple Titanium G4 and an Intel Pentium-II machine (both
with Debian ofcourse). I would like to purchase a scanner but would
also like to be able to do photocopies. I could use a computer to scan
then print but that can be a bit inefficient. I was thinking of an all
in one unit that HP, Cannon or maybe Brother produce. Are there any
recommendations from other Linux users.
I would prefer a Laser printing engine but they seem harder to come by.
I would also prefer a printer with inbuilt postscript (I always have
seem to have problems with ghostscript). I think USB is the way to go
though an ethernet connection would be even better.
If there is nothing suitable then recommendations on individual products
would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Brendan Simon.
