It is fully supported under OS X and Windows as far as I can tell. Here is using a different HP scanner (really an AIO device) which was set up automatically for me when I added it to my network: <http://youtu.be/CvaOs8uy3lQ>. Really... it is hard to see how things could be made much easier... and from what has been described it is *nowhere* near that easy with Linux. Nowhere close. -- The indisputable facts about that absurd debate: <http://goo.gl/2337P> cc being proved wrong about his stats BS: <http://goo.gl/1aYrP> 7 simple questions cc will *never* answer: <http://goo.gl/cNBzu> cc again pretends to be knowledgeable about things he is clueless about.
