My HP all in one is a @#$@#$ crap box.  It can't even copy more than one
page between power cycles without crashing.  It even tried to feed paper
backwards last time I tried to copy something on it.  No more HP for me.

Scanning to windows still seems to work, but printing or copying
involves getting 'E' every time after the first page prints.  It then
needs to have the power cord unplugged to make it work again (for
another single page).

It used to be epson scanners and printers just worked with linux, but
unfortunately with the new ones you can't be sure of that anymore.
