    I've been getting by running Simple Scan on my Ubuntu utility box. I
    have a Pixma multi-function scanner/ printer/ copier, and it scans and prints well. For awhile I had the inkjet portion shared through Samba
    for my other pc's.

    Thanks for the tip! I use scan-to-pdf pretty heavily now that I'm working
    from home. I'll need that functionality if I move to Linux. Does it work
    with networked scanners?


    ... Faced with a choice, do both.

    Simple Scan works with network scanners as long as the network scanner supports Linux (or the Saned backend).

    We use HP and Brother network scanners at $work in an OpenBSD/Linux environment. OpenBSD is not suported by the models we use but the Linux workstations do ok with the scanners and printers.

    I haven't tried it yet, but I don't see why it wouldn't. This weekend I
    could try using my Ubuntu laptop with the networked MFD at the conservation club I help out at.
