I know that the HP OfficeJet 7210 can scan docs via a web page. It has it's own built in NIC and print server. All you do is point a browser at the assigned IP address and one of of the options on the web page is to scan a document and then it kicks back a JPEG to the browser of the scan. (Seriously considering one of them for my house, we have one at work and it is a very nice unit.) Printing on Linux would be too simple, just point CUPS at the assigned IP address and tell it the proper driver, which I'm sure HP would have considering their support of Linux drivers for their printers. -- ---- ------ Todd Young -------------- Original message ---------------------- From: Randy Clarksean <rclark at lakesplus.com> > First .. thanks for the KVM emails this past week.
