thanks everyone!

I hope the Auto Document Feeder on the scanner works too..

To scan to PDF then I would use XSane and than manually print each page
scan to a PDF file.. be nice if I could combine all in to one PDF.

What about with a Auto Document Feeder, will XSane just spit out a
collection of individual JPEGs? Hoping I can find an easy way to use the
ADF to scan say a 20 page document to a 20 page PDF.

We bought an HP 5610 all-in-one recently and it works great out of the
box, xsane worked, printing, no problems.

xsane can save as PDF and I just verified that Adobe Acrobat reads the
PDF just fine.

This is fantastic news, thank you. We ordered the C7280 All-in-one last
night so I will post a report to this forum in the next few days on how
it goes.

In particular I am interested in using the Auto Document Feeder for
scanning, without having to boot in to XP to use 'advanced' features such
as that. I have no experience with scanning though.

It would just be so handy to go through all our filing and scan and throw
out what we don't need or back up what we do.

I just tried to set up my hp c7280 under Ubuntu 7.10. The printer was recognized, but it was installed with the c7100 series driver. X-Sane does not recognize the device at all! I have had no problem with an hp c6150 or psc1610, so I don't know what to do. I am very new with Linux. Any help would be appreciated!!

I installed HPLIP 2.7.10 and got both the printer and scanner working. Now I also need to figure out how to scan multiple page documents to a single PDF.

What drivers have you used installing the printer? You need to install
HPLIP using Synaptic. Your printer IS listed on HPLIP site as supported.
