Description: Although withdrawn from sale by HP now, the d125xi is a good solid all-in-one distinguished by having a flatbed scanner, in addition to a sheet feed so it starts to feel like a real photocopier. Of course it prints colour and black.

The downside (and when isn't it with printers) are the ink cartridges. I found I had to replace the colour cartridges after about 100-150 pages with probably under 10% colour on them.

Connected via the parallel port, the printer works fine connected to my Mandrake 9.1 server and does more or less everything it should do. The copier works fine (that's independent of the computer) but Linux doesn't see it as a scanner at all.

If I have the time to try the native USB connection, maybe that will yield better results with the scanner.

An update to my previous review

Connection type : USB or Parallel (USB recommended)

When connected with USB, Mandrake was able to configure both printer and scanner perfectly. After configuring the printer, Mandrake gave me a message advising me not to configure the scanner separately - it was all done for me.

Everything seems to work fine. Scanned photos look good. Printing works (single and double sided, colour and black).

The only problem I've found with the printer is that it can be difficult to get the paper to feed through straight - it often ends up at a slight angle in the tray.
