[nflug] Printer/Scanner Support in Linux/BSD

[Cyber Source]

I have had excellent results with ALL HP printer/scanners using the 
hplip backend, then use the hp-toolbox for scanner access (just a front 
to xsane) and you can even check your ink levels, align cartridges, 
clean cartridges. Get the latest hplip from sourceforge, you wont 
believe how easy and nice it works!
