I love it and I must say it runs soooooomuch better than Windows. All my peripherals work except my MFC from Brother. The particular model I have is the MFC-3820CN. The printer configuration has pretty much all but my unit. Brother has no updates or assistance to offer and I am clueless on working inside of Linux command lines. Please help, I need this machine to do my scanning and copying functions. I'd hate to have to wipe this off and put windows back on. Thanks all, I hope to learn more from all your posts Christopher </blockquote> Just to add to what the other guys have said, you should see if there is an update to sane-backends package (SANE = Scanner Access Now Easy). The backends are the basic drivers, you may check the website to see if your device is listed and if so, what functionality can you expect from it. <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://sane-project.org">http://sane-project.org</a> </body> </html>
