Joe, If you do a lot of faxing you can get a second phone number with a distinctive ring for the fax on the same incoming wires and use a splitter to send the signal to the fax machine. I've been doing this since 1993 and it works very well. Rich ___ PLUG mailing list PLUG@lists.pdxlinux.org http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug

Fast, good-quality color printing even on cheap paper, scanning quality is good, easy setup & operation via HPLIP. My only disappointment (really just a quibble) is that the outbound fax doesn't work if your landline uses the telco's voicemail system. (thie is msnetioned in the manual.

The Epson WorkForce WF-3620 looks like it will do what you want.

We have a small duplex laser and a cheap single-sided inkjet all-in-one that work quite well, and Brother specifically offers Linux drivers. Both have wireless network connectivity, and cost less than $200/ea. The inkjet seems fine with cheap off-brand refills. Printers these days are a lot like cars: old, durable and high-maintenance, or new, disposable and zero-maintenance. ___ PLUG mailing list PLUG@lists.pdxlinux.org http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
[PLUG] Looking for all-in-one printer-scanner device
Looking for a printer-scanner, as my brother's Canon has given up the ghost, and his HP flatbed only scanner has a flourescent tube which is fading. Sure would like to find one supported by Mint 18 (Ubuntu 16) with sheet and flatbed feeding to scan, and duplexed printing. What have y'all got for a resonable price? FreeGeek is out of stock for the forseeable future, and I would much rather acquire from here than Craigslist. -- -- 73s/Best regards de John Bartley K7AAY CN85qj •|||• tel. 503-BAR-TLEY/503-343-9399 "*Lewis and Clark took 1779-vintage 20-round, magazine-fed, semi-auto assault rifles cross-country to Oregon with no permits.*" ___ PLUG mailing list PLUG@lists.pdxlinux.org http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
