So, I'll bite, what do you use for scanning?
Well I pretty much never have any reason to scan anything, and they are setup to send scans to your email account on an exchange server.
Sorry - - - scanning is quite useful for me and I sure would like a way to make it work connected to my Linux box!
Something that uses standard IETF-ish protocols over a network is more likely to work than something that expects to do something proprietary directly to a Windows box or Mac. I've got a Brother MFC set up to drop scans (PDF or JPG) into a Samba share on my fileserver, so that's quite compatible. And I've looked at a big Canon printer very much like the one Lennart has, and it seemed to use SMTP and LDAP, but someone would have to run out of better things to do before poking at that. -- Anthony de Boer
