I've found no linux support for the CX6400. As for Tame, interestingly
I checked the Epson site. They are clearing out printers and scanners
supported by os2. Of real interest to me are the stylus photo 820 for
$59 and the perfection 1660 photo scanner for $65. Both are
refurbished. website:

It would be great to get it all working on a cx5400 or cx6400, but
printing itself would be fine, even if I had to get scans using (ugh)
windows. Actually if I don't mind losing the desk real estate, the
printer and scanner above are cheaper than the cx's. The cx6400 though
can print from flashcards and copy without the computer on. Actually it
darn near doesn't need a computer. Oh, it doesn't fax. Needs a computer
for that :-)

And ownership of an individual by government is called slavery.
