Re: Networked MFPs - What Scan Software

I have a Hewlett Packard MFP C5280 currently connected to an Ubuntu Linux box.

The printer is available to two other XP laptops using Samba and CUPS.

I've managed limited network scanner success using Linux's SANE server but lose a lot of the HP Windows software functions. The HP software sees the printer as disconnected so remote scanning is via a Winows/Linux interface program.

I do want to get a WiFi print server and am wondering, with the MFP servers, does the printer's supplied Windows software work of does one have to use some other cut down version.

Hi,
It all depends what server and what printer. Look up the compatible printers on a given WiFi server before you plunge.
