I have a HP business all in one with a scanner and fax and stuff, and while the printer part is pretty reliable (i.e. when I print something, it actually prints), but the scanning part..

I've had 2 WinXP, 1 Vista, and 1 OSX PC hooked up to it and it's completely random what's going to work day in and day out. For a while my WinXP box could not scan, it would throw an error and I'd have to restart the printer to get anything else to run, but the OSX laptop scanned great. Then I got a Vista box, and Vista works (kinda) and the OSX box stopped being able to scan.

In Vista, I have 2 users.. under my main user the system tray software loads, but I can't actually bring up any menu, so to scan I have to go find the .exe file in the bin folder, and there's 100 .exe files in there. If I log in as the other user, the menu comes up but scanning doesn't work, it just doesn't do anything.

I keep hoping it will break down so I can buy something different.
