[Caduceus]

We have an HP3150 at home which I have been fairly happy with.

There was a paper-feeding issue which was settled in some sort of mass class action suit, to which I received a plastic doo-dad to stick to it which has corrected the problem. Then my wife was dusting it and it sucked feathers into the machine. Fortunately, this has cleared up over the last few months. But occasionally a feather will be spit out.

Don't plan on super-high quality scans unless you're willing to pony up the money.

The HP sits on the line and is set only to answer the phone if we manually tell it to. We have one line and DSL.
