Need a printer/scanner

                                      i hope that helps in any way...

     Brother printers are fairly well supported and HP printers are pretty well supported. Each requires you to download drivers made for Linux, but have good support. I'm using an HP Officejet 6500 Wireless, which is a color printer with built-in scanner and fax. All (seem) supported with software drivers (haven't tried the fax, but it looks like it will work fine). Have also used Brother MFC5840, same capabilities.

The HP officejet 6500 wireless looks great! I could not find a ppd
driver on the hp website though. Does it come on the install disc or
where would I download it?

You are still having a problem:

Hi,
some Ubuntu users have put down their experiences with printers here:
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsPrinters

And a maybe more complete database of printers here:
http://www.linuxfoundation.org/en/OpenPrinting/Database/DatabaseIntro

And I found the above sites at https://help.ubuntu.com/ where an abundance of "official" and user collected help is available. Maybe for future needs.

I use a HP Officejet Pro K5400 with duplex unit (and built in lan adapter) and it works fine. (no scan/fax though)

Good luck.

Thank you guys, I can print now!!! lol
I still have some remaining issues on my Officejet 6500 wireless
printer...
I can print via USB, scan via the HP Device manage too. I cant seem to
scan by hitting the button on the machine... Tells me computer is not
hooked up. Also I used the tools button on the printer and the printer
can see/connect to the router, but if I unplug the USB my computer can't
see the printer anymore... Thoughts???
