A quick follow-up on my first impression with Scanning under Linux …. If you are fed up with the insanely ugly and incomprehensible GUI of xsane, try skanlite. It is quite a bit better. At least for me:

skanlite -d hpaio:/net/Photosmart_C5100_series?ip=192.168.10.10

For sending faxes I recently discovered SipGate. With the drivers provided here you even get native Linux integration via cups. Nice.

And with the awesome PDF editor PDF X-Change Viewer you don’t even need to print out your forms any more. Stamp your signature on it, save and off you go.

And yes, these are personal notes as well.
