Thanks for the lead. I will try that function.

I ended up having to boot into XP to get this item scanned, remove the 
corrupted HP software, find the CD for the printer, reinstall the 
software and experience other XP malfunctions. If something works in 
Linux, I'd be that much more satisfied. Now that I know it "used to 
work" in previous releases, I'll try to resolve the scanner issue.
