We bought the Epson Perfection 1670 Photo Scanner so I could mainly use it for scrapbooking projects. On the Epson web site we found a refurbished one at a great price that we could order directly from them with full factory warranty. We chose this scanner because seemed to cater towards people who were looking for a scanner to use mostly for photographs.The features of the scanner are:* I...

The HP PSC series is a performer in my book. It is a functional multi-use printer/scanner/copier that has helped with my home office needs well. The PSC 1610 is an older multi-function model, but don't let that deter you. It has performed flawlessly for me, and I use it almost daily.I was attracted to this model especially due to its copier/scanner functions, effectively replacing a scanner...

I could not resist trying out this nice triple trunking handheld scanner as it lay on the shelf on my weekend expedition to Radio Shack. This scanner felt pretty solid to the touch and as soon as I turned it on it was scanning away. It was not long before it tuned in the local police officers in the field. They sounded very crisp and clear. This made a great impression on me right off the bat. ...

I recently received the Microsoft Biometric fingerprint scanner as a present over the holidays. Figured I'd let everyone know the pros and cons of this little piece of hardware/software.First of all it's an easy install as long as you are running on a 32 bit operating system, if you are running on a 64 bit operating system it will not recognize the hardware nor will it install the softw...

After years of having a seperate printer and scanner cluttering up my computer area, I decided it was time to look for a decent-priced printer and scanner combo.  The Hewlitt-Packard All-In-One is a compact unit that includes a printer and a scanner and has an added copier feature.  Setup for this printer was very easy.  All you need to do is connect up the power cord, then plug ...

My husband spent years as a volunteer firefighter. He bought a scanner, which he kept  beside our bed and it was on all night, every night. In many ways, I hated it because of the number of times I'd be woken by the fire tones, many of which were not for my husband. On the upside, the scanner was very interesting. There is a lot more to it than just getting fire calls. This one ha...

Philip K. Dick's powerful book A Scanner Darkly focuses on many aspects of drug use, culture, surveillance, and human thought.  The movie is based on the book, but as usual the book is slightly more in depth than the movie.This is a great book that can be picked up and read quite quickly; I think I finished this in two days of reading.  It is fairly short, which works well for t...

This is a great easy to use all-in-one photo printer/scanner/copier. The loading tray is in the front which is different from any other ink jet printer, I've owned. I've always owned the back loading printers, but if you need to get near the printer, the paper is easily bent or curled. With this printer, the paper lays fllat. This is a great feature. The printing resolution is great and...

I picked up a HP OfficeJet v40xi from someone a while back. Lo and behold it apparently is not worth the effort to work on.The HP OfficeJet v40xi is a printer/copier/scanner/fax machine. HP generally makes great printers, but in this case they let down the consumer.The problem? Once it breaks, it's done, son. What happens is that the print mechanism has a read error that causes it to not be...

Our multi-functional machine, Brother MFC-260C, is very useful for school and business purposes. One way of keeping family's important documents is through scanning it and save it on our 320G portable hard disk. It goes too on my business important documents. Upon installing the machine's software, wife and I started scanning our important documents for record and safe keeping. In case ...

The CanonScan LiDE 25 is a perfect scanner for the casual artist. It’s quick, easily portable, and compatible with just about everything. For those beginning to experiment with computer imagery or those who just need an occasional quick and clean scan, it would be hard to imagine a better purchase.The CanonScan brags about being a portable scanner. This is somewhat up for debate, but it d...

We originally purchased this because we needed a new printer and wanted one with a lot of options. We found ourselves always running to Kinkos or the UPS store here by our house for our copying needs and faxing needs, or I would bring things to work to try and fax before hours. My husband runs a business out of our house and so we decided to bite the bullet and pay more money so we would have a...

My husband originally purchased this scanner to  load in boxes of negatives we have stored away and put all the pictures into CD format.   We used the auto film loader for scanning in the negatives.  After that job was complete, he scanned in well over 2500 pictures my father had in albums and boxes so we could distribute CD's of all the pictures to my brothers and ...

HP Photosmart C5180 All-in-One Printer, Scanner, Copier - This is the printer I got right before Christmas. Its a pretty good printer. The pictures come out really nice. The ink cartridges (it takes 6) seem to print awhile before they run out. You buy the color you need. They never run out at the same time. The price of the cartridges can be pretty reasonable if you look around. The scanner I h...

  If there were a more useful scanner than the XP 450 Scanner, I don't know what it is. This machine is a testament to technology and even eco-friendliness.The XP 450 ain't your momma's scanner. It's not for your house to scan pictures of your poodle Mr. Bubbles' newest Christmas sweater. To put just one document in it for scanning is like only taking your Ferrari to 35...

This Radio Shack Scanner is wonderful in all of it's uses. It scanners for weather updates, National Weather Service Statements, Amber Alerts, and police, fire, and ambulance transmissions. There are many buttons and knobs on this scanner which is good and bad. Good in that there are many different searching options and clarification tweaks. Bad in that it does take some time to get used to...

I have owned a couple of Visioneer scanners, one being the Visioneer OneTouch 5800 USB Scanner.  This scanner is a very simple flatbed scanner, making it fairly easy to scan documents and photographs.  If you are looking for a top of the line high quality scanner, look elsewhere.  If you are just looking to use a scanner for simple document and photo scanning, the OneTouch 5800 i...

A little older but still a quality flatbed scanner.  Simple buttons allow the users to the most common functions: copy, scan to (application selectable from the scanner), and e-mail.  This is great for my dad that can set a picture down on the machine, click e-mail and it will scan and attach the photo to an e-mail.  This model is a little bulky at 13"W x 22.5"D x ...
