I've got a HP psc 2170 all-in-one printer on a windows xp machine.

The printer itself is working perfectly but is it also possible to

  1. start the flatbed-scanner from Ubuntu and have the scanned paper open into gimp on my kUbuntu install?
  2. access the files on the flashcard inside the printer and view them in konqueror or even gimp?

Laptop -> wireless -> PC -> Printer works but can I also do a laptop -> wireless -> PC -> Scan page -> send scan to laptop.

I expect it's impossible but if I don't ask I'll never know for sure ;)
