Based on my own experiences, I've concluded that any type of multi-function printer/scanner/fax/copier product doesn't sit well with the BSDs (or QNX or *Linux for that matter). Has _anyone_ out there found an exception to this? I'd be interested to know. Is it that the hardware _must_ be software driven (in addition to the drivers)? Is it a problem with the structure of the drivers themselves? What gives? I ask because when people ask me, all I can relate is what I've experienced, and I can't give them an explanation other than, "Multi-function products bite." Thx Mike
