[SOLVED] Supported Scanners
by mike-2013 from LinuxQuestions.org on (#6G98H)
I need to replace my printer/scanner as the current one, an HP Deskjet F218, has failed. A colleague has a HP Envy 6000e going spare but we can't get the scanner function to work on my Slackware 15.0 installation. It prints OK with CUPS.
It looks like I'll have to buy a new printer/scanner instead. I don't do much printing at all, maybe a few pages a month and not much more scanning so I just want something cheap. Given my experience with the HP Envy, I'm concerned that I could buy another one that won't work with Slackware 15.0 Can anyone recommend a cheap printer/scanner that would definitely be compatable?
