[clug] Scanner/printer recommendations

[Ian Bardsley]

Hi Bob

I have had an HP 7260 MFC for over a year now and it has worked 
faultlessly as both a USB connected deviced and more recently with WIFI 
connectivity under Ubuntu.  The device is automagically detected under 
Jaunty and only requires allocating the correct driver for it to work as 
a printer, scanner and Fax.

FWIW,  I have stuck with HP product since migrating to Linux and have 
never had a problem which is more than I can say for a Brother MFC owned 
by my daughter which was a real pain in the A@*$# to get functioning.

HIH

Regards

Ian Bardsley
