I am considering purchasing an "all-in-one" printer/scanner/copier/fax. I only need the printer to work from linux, the scanner must beavailable to windows (XP).What set up would you recommend? Can I share a scanner from Linux? I have not been able to find any information on this. I am hoping that there is something like raw access through Samba for printing so that windows can use its own drivers.
Yes. It is possible. Have a look at the backend description for sane and saned.
