I don't know what you consider affordable, if you get a scanner that's is a "network" scanner -- it can scan directly a system using network protocols, like 'email', or 'smb', or 'ftp'.
I did think about defining 'affordable', but I thought perhaps the comparison with an HP2400 would hint at it :-) I think the HP2400 was about CHF100, a new 2410 is about the same. A network connected scanner would certainly be optimal, but for the kind of casual, occasional use I have for it, I suspect it would be out of the question. Besides, miraculously the HP2400 is now working with the driver from http://www.elcot.in/ ...
I don't know at what price point they start offering features like that. But I laid out some bucks for a laser printer recently (my volume is very low -- so low that inkjets die because the ink dries up in them and clogs the output tubes), so...I decided I had to go with something that wouldn't dry out -- like powdered toner. :-). The price of ink's were driving me to insanity, but if you don't use the ink, you lose the printer.
Yeah. I went through exactly the same about two years ago. /Per -- Per Jessen, Zürich (16.4°C) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
