I have an Epson Artisan 810 All-In-One Wireless Network printerr. I absolutely love it. Typically software for HP printers is more accessible and they officially support Linux drivers. However, I got tired of HP printers getting chincy. A prime example is the last HP OfficeJet printer I owned had a paper feed so cheap, even my sighted wife was unable to fax a single page! The paper feed on my Artisan is robust and has not failed yet. The ADF works great for scanning and faxing. It also has a full flatbed scanner. The ink is really easy to change. Hardware wise, this printer can not be beat!

The software is a mixed bag. I still have not figured out the Epson Scan software. The fax software is straight forward and accessible. I generally avoid their software beyond the basic drivers. Using this printer with Windows for those who are completely blind is probably not recommended. I have just enough vision to see the icon size soft buttons on the screen. The main screen has 6 buttons and I know that "Scan" is the bottom middle button.This scanner can scan to a memory card plugged into the scanner. I just scan to the memory card and all of the computers in our house can access the card over the network.

I use my scanner frequently from Vinux. A separate division of Epson in Japan provide Linux drivers that work great. Ubuntu has a bunch of great free, utilities to work with scanned images, and there is more to come.
