   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
