Hi Eugene,

I've been running an HP Officejet 6310 all-in-one with eComStation for 
some time as a printer.

I installed using the individual packages following the how to on the 
Wiki - for some reason the wpi install doesn't work for me (YMMV).

I selected the HP OfficeJet 7110 driver and everything works as it 
should. I can print to it either over the LAN or via the USB cable.

For scanning I put in an SD card. scan to that and then plug it into a 
card reader to read the files off it. When I have the printer connected 
via the USB cable, I can sometimes also read the data from the SD card 
while it is in the reader in the HP.

Fax of course works as a standalone device, I have not tried to get it 
to work from the eCS PC as I hardly ever send faxes.

Cheers/2

Ed.
