I'm looking at purchasing a scanner and thought I may as well go up to date and get a built in printer too (my ageing HP Desktop is struggling with the heavier use that wife and kids are giving it).
My main reason for purchasing the scanner functionality is to become more paper free and store documents digitally, so ideally, I'd like a quick scanner which is easy to set up and can get through documents quickly. I've been looking on Amazon and have just realised that most printers are now wireless. We have Linux machines and windows machine in the house, so I'd like it to talk to all machines over the network but am not sure how I'd go about configuring the machine on Linux through wifi. I've looked at this one: Brother DCP-J315W [0] which is well within my budget and seems to have good reviews. Does anyone have any experience of setting up Brother wireless printers with ubuntu? Is it easy? Are there any pitfalls I should be prepared for? Does anyone know if this scanner/printer works through a wireless connection? I've checked the SANE website but didn't find this particular printer/scanner. [1] Does anyone have any experience of any printer/scanner that they could recommend for a multi OS environment? I'm also interested in the cost of the ink, so wouldn't want to get an expensive to run printer.
