My son needs a good scanner.
Not the best, not the cheapest either.

He will mainly be scanning in drawings, and his mom/stepdad would be scanning in receipts.

They do not need an all in one like I have, as they have laserjets for printers now, but no scanner.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,

 

I have a Canon CanoScan LiDE 60, works great. I use it all the time for school and work. Extremely small so it won't take up desk space (can also be vertically mounted in an included stand), plus is it powered by the usb port, so no huge power brick!! If I remember correctly, I spent around $150 to $200 on it. Hope this helps

 

We have an older hp 6200 series scanner. It was big dollar when I bought it, but especially back then it was fast. It is still a great scanner and there are a lot of them floating around on ebay. It has scsi (preferred) and usb connections.

 

I have 2 HP Scanjet 4600's. I got the 2nd on closeout from Buy.com for $40. These are the ones with the clear window so you can scan face up and see what you are doing. They work great.
