Linux friendly scanner

[Steve G.]

Not true at all.

I have a brother scanner-printer-fax, and when the ink runs out, you can not
send faxes. They manufacturers sell the printer for next to nothing, then
get you by forcing you to change the ink every 3 months at ridiculous
prices. Every color that dries up bricks the machine FOR EVERY FUNCTION.
Instead of starting, it gives an error message and quits.
