Epson all in one printer/copy/scanner??
 

I'm thinking of picking up an Epson all in one printer/copier/scanner today and wanted to make sure it was fully functional in Linux (namely Red Hat 9) before I do so. I don't have any problems with my Epson 880 printer now but wasn't sure if the all-in-one models posed any different problems.

Any advice or suggestions. I was looking to stay under $200 USD.

The one I had in mind is the Epson Stylus CX3200 and can be viewed here:

I think the first place to look is here, see if the model your interested in has any support

Cool, thanks for the link, I was searching the hardware compatibility pages all morning and they were very limited when it came to printers. Looks like I shouldn't have too much trouble with this printer.

it uses the standard 'epson' sane module, so the scanner should work fine as well.

I have one CX3200 and am still having trouble with the scanning part

I ended up purchasing the Epson CX5200 since it was only $20 more than the CX3200 at CompUSA. I didn't have any problems getting the printer and/or scanner working, I followed the HowTo guide from here:

LinuxPrinting.org

Follow the instructions that start at 13 for the printer and the scanner instructions are right after it.

I didn't have any problems.
