Hi,
You can buy this HP Deskjet F4280 all-in-one printer ,its very advanced and multifunction printer.
just wondering…how does it work scanning stuff? is there a program i need to install on suse?
cheers
if all else fails…search scan in the software sarch, and i found this
kdegraphics3-scan
i think it might be what i’m looking for. the description says this:
Kooka is an image scanning program for KDE that uses the SANE library.
This offers scan capabilities to a wide range of scanner hardware.

Kooka is an image scanning program for KDE that uses the SANE library.
This offers scan capabilities to a wide range of scanner hardware.
As well as a user-friendly interface, Kooka offers basic image
manipulation routines like rotating, mirroring, etc. Additionally, it
has a save assistant that helps to find the correct image format. The
image gallery and a configurable thumbnail view makes it easy to
organize the scans.
Kooka supports OCR (Optical Character Recognition) on your scans. Two
open source OCR programs, ocrad and gocr are available as plugins to
Kooka.
no harm giving it a try i guess
just to let anyone know who may have been following this thread, printer/scanner arrived today (another on time, well, earlier in fact, delivery from the brilliant amazon.co.uk) and it prints ok after a 2minute set up. kooka works fine and it scans too i’m sorted
Hey, good to know!
Have a lot of fun in printing.
