> I had lots of bad luck with Epsons and cartidge replacements at my last job and am wondering if I should just take the other choice, a Cannon BJC-2000 parallel instead. If I do take the Cannon, I get a free Color-Image Scanner Cartidge which also contains Windows software. Would I necessarily need that to get it to scan under *BSD? I'm thinking not, but I could be wrong... I'd use the Canon over the Epson. Although the Epson usually has better resolution, the cartridges and the printer themselves are known to be flaky (I've had many friends bitten by them and have sworn never again.) The Canon you can plug in and use without trouble, but the scanner I doubt will work. However, if someone has some ppbus-based scanner code sitting around, I'm sure we could get the IS22 and my HP ScanJet 3000C to work under FreeBSD :) -- Matt Emmerton To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
