Does anybody have any experience with any of the all-in-one fax/printer/scanner devices? They all say they require Windows 9X or NT, but is it possible to use them through Linux some way? I would guess that if they are Mac and Windows compatible, they either are or could be made to be Linux compatible as well. If they are only Windows compatible they may depend on GDI for some computation, which may make them useless.
If there is not an existing painless solution, does anybody have any experience with getting technical specifications from Epson, Brother, HP or any of the other vendors who make these kinds of boxes? I haven't called them up yet, but perhaps it's well known that one of them is hostile to Linux. It's kind of sad when your primary questions are these administrative concerns, and not "How well does it work?"
