Hi John,
I have a Dell 1600n network printer/fax/copier/scanner running with
Debian.
Network printing is fine with a generic postscript driver. The printer is
a monochrome laser. There are also colour ones in the series but I've
never used one.
When I bought it I didn't find any Linux network scanning support but I
have written a perl script which works as a driver for JPEG (200dpi
colour) and TIFF (monochrome) network scanning. See
http://www.jon.demon.co.uk/dell1600n-net-scan.
The current status of the driver is "basic but working".
I don't know how well the USB interface works under Linux as I don't have
any computers that are new enough to support it....
regards,
Jon
