Buying an accessible multifunction printer/scanner is problematic these days
because many of them have LCD displays with menus that require sighted help
to navigate or else have graphical onscreen menus that are not accessible
with JAWS. And models change so frequently that a model that was previously
accessible just a year or so ago may have been replaced by a similar model
that is no longer accessible. Maybe someone on this list who has purchased
a multifunction printer/scanner recently can provide the brand and model
number and describe how accessible it is without sighted help. As a general
rule, single-purpose printers and scanners are more likely to be accessible
without sighted help than multifunction models because they are less
complicated. am in the market myself for a new printer but prefer a single
purpose model because my Epson Perfection 4490 scanner still works fine with
Open Book, and so I have no reason to replace it.

Hello-
My multi-function printer/scanner has died and FS no longer keeps a current
list of printer/scanners that are twain compatible and will work with
Openbook and JAWS. If you have recently purchased a printer/scanner that
works with Openbook 8 or higher can you please let me know what you are
using?
