Hi everyone,

USB and power: USB only supplies 5V @ 500mA max per device. Fine for
keyboards and mice, but nowhere near enough to run a printer or scanner, so
forget that issue.
I hope I'm not misinterpreting your comment Howard, but my Canon scanner
connected to my laptop works just this way, its a CanoScan N1220U
http://consumer.usa.canon.com/scanners/csn1220u/index.html , and has one USB
cable that supplies power and is the data connection. This may well mean it
runs slower than wall-socket powered devices, but lack of access to power
points made this a good choice for me when I got it. Admittedly this is
about the only scanner on the market that DOES work this way, but it seems
like it is possible.
All the best
Martin
