Modern Linux scanners

[Marc Nozell (marc@nozell.com)]

The work-issued HP OfficeJet 6500 Wireless (~2 years old?) works fine for
both printing and scanning.  It has a serviceable web interface for
scanning of various document types (photo, text, etc).  For scanning via
the page feeder, using a USB connection is much easier/faster.  And
supported by SANE.

For some personal dedicated scanning needs I picked up a HP ScanJet 5590
which also works out of the box with the SANE drivers.  It is USB only, no
networking.  I'm happy with it.

Be sure to use the hp-setup tool to configure HP printers/scanners.
