Like Adam, I researched this printer before purchasing. I checked to make sure that the scanner and the ADF was listed as supported, and had it not been supported, I would not have purchased the printer. Thus, it was somewhat frustrating when, once I started reporting problems, I was told that they were recognized bugs. I understand that open-source software is written by volunteers, and that not everything will be supported perfectly. I just would like to suggest that until these bugs can be fixed, the printer should probably not be listed as fully supported, to prevent others from buying the printer and then being surprised by the problems.

m1212nf only scans first page using ADF. Errors after that
