If it's just for scanning and sending doc and photos for email, and not for
professional work, I would go with any of the Microtek flatbed, parallel
port scanners. I've had 4 of them (still have 3). Microtek is one of the
oldest and largest manufacturers of home use scanners. All mine are less
than US$ 100.00 and give really good results. Of course at work we have
some of the higher priced, high speed HP scanners ($2000.00+).
The only problems that I have had have been caused by some software
packaged with the scanner that put a continuously running program in the
systray that is supposed to startup when you activate the scanner. It
often interferes with programs like Photo Shop or Paint Shop Pro that I
use. I usually deactivate these programs if they are installed when
installing the drivers.
