Some MFDs will _print_ from OS X across the network, but won't scan.  
And very few will fax. I don't need to fax very often, but when I do,  
I need to do it _immediately_.

betcha that it's better than HP scan software... The current HP  
software causes Graphic Converter to crash immediately. It works,  
sorta, in Photoshop, so I'd have said that this was a GC problem,  
except that the _old_ scanner software worked in GC. The problem is,  
the old _printer_ software stunk up the place.
