Hi, Do you want a standard scanner or a lightweight one such as those cannons of which you speak? I usually now recommend Epson models - I like the stirdyness of the scanners etc (they before were a bit plasticy so I recommended other brands). I stay away from HP as I don't find their driver support grate. I can't tell you the fastest Epson model though - I am out of touch with the latest model - I still use a trusty Perfection 1240. Thanks. Andrew. -----Original Message----- From: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Gerold Locke Sent: 09 April 2005 17:14 To: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [access-uk] scanner Hi All, I need a new scanner - one that is easily installed and usable by a totally blind person. Would appreciate any suggestions, and thanks for any replies. My old scanner was a Canon, and I was never happy with its connection with its USB cable on the scanner, which was always wobbly, and not very positive! Must be a plug and play model. Kind regards, Gerry.
