Hi Ilbert,
I too have a good scanner 4 sale (cheap) & an Epson C82 printer (black +
3 colours). Incidentally Terry Steeper has resurrected his Umax SCSI
scanner & sold his USB Epson 1260 for similar reasons & s l o w n e s s.
I have been doing about 2 weeks of physical research into scanners &
printers. I am presently leaning toward the HP (7760 If I remember
right) printer, mainly because it recognizes XD memory cards from my
Fuji 3800 & can print direct, i.e.: no computer needed. The drawback is
that it uses only 2 cartridges, black & colour. The Canon equivalent
models use 4 to 6 cartridges, but XD is out. I'll be more exact shortly.
Upper models of Epson still have the upper hand in scanners, but the
Canon Lide 80 is a high contender. All USB.
TTFN,
TeeC
