A multifunction device that prints, scans, and copies. Uses hpijs driver for printing, hpoj driver for scanning/copying. Tested on Mandrake Linux 9.2. Prints, scans, and copies perfectly but Mandrake does not use ScannerDrake for configuration probably because it treats it as a printer.

Suse 9.1
Detected nicely with YaST. Scans well with built in KDE apps. I never had to install a package. Some problems with printing though, sometimes the process will just hang for pictures and such. Simple text files print fine though. I think the problem may have something to do with USB rather than the printer itself

It works fine, gets detected as both the scanner and printer using the PTAL all-in-one driver.
Sometime the PTAL got messed up and I had to do the "print only" option in CUPS and have to load and unload rcptal by hand to scan. It's not that big of a pain.
EDIT: SuSE 9.3 includes the hpaio drivers. Use these rather than PTAL and it is a very simple setup. You can get the hpaio drivers from HP on their website.
