Re: Which scanner/copier do you use with Fedora?

I've been following this, but as I'm not currently using my scanner with
Fedora, I didn't pipe up. I, personally, am thoroughly satisfied with
Fujitsu scanners. My current one is a venerable SP-1425. Not cheap, but "do
one thing and do it well" certainly applies.

But with the talk of using HP AiOs, I had to pipe up. I have advised all my
clients to no longer buy HP printers of any type, including the AiOs, and
will personally never buy another HP printer until and unless they back off
their current policies and practices.

This first bit me at a client who purchased an HP AiO last year. It
insisted on tying itself to an HP account. I managed to get it to work
without doing so--and in a week, it stopped printing. Support insisted it
had to be connected to HP, and the client told me to do so. After it
connected, it updated the firmware without warning or requesting
permission--and immediately stopped printing because the toner in use was a
from a third-party vendor. They scrapped the printer and got a Brother.
(Note this was before HP actually admitted to what they were doing.)

But now they have. Take a look at:
