Need info on multifunction Printer

I've got a bit of a tall order here:
I'm looking for a multifunction printer/scanner/copier/fax with a flat-bed and automatic document feeder, thats networkable with a generic USB print server OR the ability to add a print server module to it, and is compatible with both OS X and a PC running Windows 2000. The reason I'm looking for something so complex is because I HAVE one, an HP officejet d145. The problem with this is that the software is utter junk. I've never seen any mac software just not work and work so poorly like this does. It's a shame I love the unit so much, but If I could find a replacement of a different brand perhaps that has better software, I'd be just thrilled.

Unfortunately, they only offer one model with fax, and that model is not a flatbed.

The search continues!
 
hello Nosh,
I can only confirm your opinion about the HP Officejet series ...
I've a wonderful Officejet G55 ... when it works alone, as a copier !
The software delivered by HP don't works : it freezes (in Os9) or it do not communicate with the printer (in OsX) in simlpe USB connexion !
I spent a lot of time with HP hotline, I tried all the versions of the software since two years ... I give up !
Anyway, I've found a solution that works sometimes : the first time you install the software, first move the "hp communication" app from the startup folder to anywhere else, so to avoid its launch at startup. Reboot, connect the Officejet and then launch the "hp communication" app. Make a pray and trust in miracles ...
