On Debian (etch) with an all-in-one HP 3050 laser + scanner, all I had
to do was click through a few pages in cups and the printer works (of
course.)
But what really blew me away was how simple the ADF (multi-page)
scanning was.
aptitude install hplip sane-utils
scanimage --batch-count=2
This is awesome given that most ADF scanners are unsupported on Linux
(or cost an arm+leg and still don't have any linux drivers from the
manufacturer.)
Go HP! Wow. That's all.
