USB scanner & USB printer supported?

[Zoist]

I have a EPSON USB printer and scanner.
Is it supported? I was thinking about installing Mandrake.

Cheers.

Yea i have an Epson 580 USB and its supported thru Cups in Mandrake 8.0. The scanner (Mustek) is a pain in the ***...Mustek has though some Linux drivers on its site, but i couldnt get them to work.

Most (all?) Epson usb scanners work. Epson has been really good about providing info to get thier stuff to work in Linux.

How about the HP 990C, or the HP 1215 Color Smart? Do they work? I was thinking about trying to get one in a few months.
