Good product, but I don't like the scanner; Very Linux friendly., February 24, 2006
This review is from: Remanufactured HP LaserJet 3015 All-in-One (Q2669AR#ABA) (Office Product)
The printing and copying are good. I have not tried fax yet.
I don't like the scanner. First, it does not have a flat scanning bed. It uses ADF ( just like a fax machine ). So you cannot scan any non-paper-based document, e.g. Driver's licence. Second, the scanning driver on the CD is broken (at least for WinXP Pro ). I had to go to HP website, downloaded and installed the new software ( almost 500M ). Before realizing I can do that, I spent at least an hour trying to get the old software to work. But anyways, It works now.
So overally, it is good, but the scanning part is disappointing. If you need scanning a lot, avoid this one.
I wish I could give it 4.5, because it is very Linux-friendly.
This is one of the few products I found that is easier to install on Linux than Windows. The related documentation can be found at http://www.linuxprinting.org/show_printer.cgi?recnum=HP-LaserJet_3015.
You just need to install HPLIP. If you use yum and FC, just need to do 'yum install hplip'. After that, add you printer in CUPS. 'lpr' should work now. Scanning is also very easy. I used xsane. Place the item in the ADF, and then hit xsane's 'scan' button, and it just works. Good job, HP.

Easy to install and use. I run a small business out of home and it's ideal.
