[Linux-aus] Multifunction Printers that work with Linux

[Martin Ebourne]

I just bought a Fuji Xerox DPCM305df today. Currently $349 at MSY plus
$100 cashback offer from Xerox.
I have everything working now, the network printing over lpd using
standard drivers included in cups (fedora) and the scanning - both to
ftp onto my shared storage and also by email. I haven't tried to get
local scanning or printing working over USB from linux because that
doesn't interest me. I had to fiddle with a few settings to get it all
set up, nothing out of the ordinary. The web interface makes it easy to
configure from any platform.
The printer is quite large but very impressive and a ridiculous bargain
for a colour auto-duplex laser printer with sheet feeder and also a
scanner with sheet feeder. That I can use all of the features without
any proprietary or non-standard stuff is great.
