I used to be an HP fan, but a couple of years ago, a client of mine went to replace their old HP scanner (it wasn't fully compatible with WinXP), and they bought a cool tiny little scanner that was just a piece of glass with some borders around it. It never worked. They got FIVE replacements from HP and spent a lot of time working with an HP engineer who admitted that HP was no longer designing their scanners for scanning pictures and photographs, but optimizing them for scanning text for OCR. The client ended up buying a large format scanner from a small company, and they've been mostly thrilled with the results. > dedicated one instead of all-in-one, and never been disappointed.

I like HP, not to > mention my ancient 5MP is still kicking hard :-) I wouldn't buy an HP scanner now for any purposes, though my old 5300CSE still works just great. -- David W.
