CentOS - Jun 2007 - OT: Feedback Request: HP Laserjet MFD M3027x and Laserjet 2840 on Linux?

Hello all

Sorry for posting my query here, but did not have any success in getting 
feedback from linuxprinting.org/ openprinting.org forums.

Planning to buy a new colour MFD or a Mono MFD & a Colour printer, for 
small buisiness office use.  Could someone give feedback on HP Laserjet 
MFD M3027x and Laserjet 2840? Do all functions provided by the printers 
work on Linux? Any kinks? Do Network Fax features of M3027x work on 
linux? Any problems in scanning & saving to disk or rather, is there any 
gui for scanning etc. & especially checking ink levels other 
maintainence tasks? I use Fedora 6 and CentOS 4/5. Any other model 
recommendations?

With best regards.
Sanjay

Sanjay,

I have a HP 2840; I have been able the printer functions working very
well with the standard cups drivers, but have not been able to get the
fax or scanner to function with Fc6, Fc5, or Centos 5.  I have not been
able to put much time with the fax and scanner so I will be interested
in following your thread.
