Re: document archiving w/ scanner
Another option is the HP OfficeJet 7130. I have one, it
can be used either with USB or network (with card), and is
one of their all-in one. Fully supported by HP on Linux
(Open Source, even), both scanning and printing. Have had
no problems at all with it, works great.
I don't have your neat script - wiill be checking that out
(thanks).
