A few comments: - If you have USB, get a scanner with it. Much easier than trying to run it through the printer port. - The scanning software that came with my HP 5200 is a memory and resource hog, and runs extremely slowly (PII 450, 384MB) - HP scanners come in different versions based on the bundled software. Make sure you get the bundle tailored to your needs - Scanners are very cheap and you can get some great features for very little money - Basic OCR comes with most, however, the two versions I have will not work when scanning at right angles. - If you are not doing a lot of scanning, stick with the consumer level models. It'll save you significant $. - I have an HP and a ScanMagic (came free from my ISP for signing up fro DSL). Can't tell much difference between the scans, especially for the web (72 ppi).
