Mac Forum / General / Hardware / December 2007Scanner died, rec's for new one?
My old HP 4600 just died while trying to do a scan. Cannot resurrect it, guess it's toast. It was a cheapie anyway. I do not scan every day, just occasionally do a scan of a page or two. I need something reliable and reasonably priced (translate: cheapest I can find that's worth spending money on). Any recommendations?

Unless you are doing professional desktop publishing, its a six of one, half dozen of the other situation. > My old HP 4600 just died while trying to do a scan.

While their printers suck, I've been satisfied with my consumer-grade Epson scanner. But I do use it fairly often. If you're scanning 1-2 pages per week, I might suggest aiming for something that won't take up a lot of space. That would mean either a multi-function device - viable if you're also thinking about a new printer - or a smaller model. My mother has an older model Canon LiDE that's serving well. Here's their current low-end: <http://www.usa.canon.com/consumer/controller?act=ModelInfoAct&fcategoryi d=119&modelid=11463> This model lists for $50. It's very small and it's bus-powered, so you can stow it in a file cabinet and pull it out for 5 minutes on the days when you actually need to scan something, leaving your desk cleaner and a spare USB port the rest of the time. > > My old HP 4600 just died while trying to do a scan.

I saw that one on office depot, think I'll just hop down there and get one! Signature"I don't separate my faith from my personal and professional lives."
