Needs the DX4800 gutenprint driver, but is correctly recognized. Works only with the gutenprint 5.0.0 release, which is not yet in Ubuntu 6.06 but in 6.10. The scanner works perfectly out of the box in both 6.06 and 6.10

User must install PIPS-lite from avasys then add printer. Doesn't print pngs, only jpgs. Formatting when printing from OO.o is terrible, print from abiword instead.

Installing PIPS-lite works as explained here. I also managed to install the backported gutenprint drivers from here/(bugs), and can now even print on DVDs.

Yes

Partial

8.10 (Intrepid)

Recognised & driver auto-installed on connection. When a test page is sent, status goes to "processing" and not much more happens. Installing PIPS from avansys makes printing work ok, but leaves a process using ~100% CPU after each job which needs manually killing..
