I strongly advise that on your next buy (not necessarily MFPs) you
also consider how well that device is supported with Linux. Bonus
if the manufacturer contributes to that support. If enough of us
are doing the same it might eventually open the eyes of
manufacturers towards the benefits of FLOSS, etc.
It has transpired that the AIO in question is a Samsung. Samsung are
*very* good at supporting Linux. I recently had a lot of help
because the suppiled driver for a Samsung AIO would not run correctly
in Debian 7. As the chap who was helping said, there are a lot of
version of a lot of distros. They cannot guarantee that a single
driver will run with all. What they did do, was help and supply an
alternative driver, and stay with me until it was running correctly
on two machines.

The responses that I got from Samsung, were that their printers are not
compatible with Debian Linux, after Debian Linux 5.
I had contacted Samsung.
