HP is the only desktop printer/scanner/etc that I've used in years, because
their Linux support is great. My home use HP Officejet Pro 8600 N911g has an
embedded web server so I only need enter it's IP in a web browser and scanning
is drop dead easy. You might need more, but in the past all my Linux
experience with Epson hardware/drivers was negative.
