Print/Scan Server for HP PS C3150?

[tigerdoc]

Hi all,

 

Newbie here. Been running just fine with 6b9 and now I'm thinking of ways to make the box even more useful. I currently have an HP Photosmart C3150 plugged into an Apple Airport Express, which serves fine as a plain print server, but would be even better if I could get scanner access too. Looks like SANE (http://www.sane-project.org/sane-mfgs.html#Z-HEWLETT-PACKARD) lists it as an unsupported device (I also have a separate Canoscan 8400F that is unsupported too, and I'd be happy to have that plugged into the box instead of swapping the USB cable between computers in the one-room office) but HPLIP has a bunch of drivers for many distros (Slackware not supported so much; see http://hplipopensource.com/hplip-web/models/photosmart/photosmart_c3100_series.html). Anyone have any experience making this work?

 

Thanks in advance!
