RE: Re: HP scanjet 5550c

If you buy an AiO product (officejet, psc, etc) scanning is supported
through the hpoj driver.

I was all set to buy this scanner, but am not doing so based on the
problem you've cited.

Hopefully the emerging popularity of linux on the desktop will soon show
HP and other hardware vendors that they are losing sales due to
inadequate support for that OS. It is certainly good to see projects
like this one, and I appreciate HP's efforts in that regard. But if I
can't walk into CompUSA, ready to buy, and can't find *any* of their
scanning products on the shelves that will work with my choice of OS,
they've still got a serious problem.
