Canon LIDE200 (or 210 I think it's now called) is a simple to operate scanner which I use for those types of things. Cheap as chips and hasn't failed me in years.

Canon are fine. Or a cheap Lexmark printer. Had the X1190 for years, about 30 something quid, prints & scans fine for my unsophisticated needs.

It's bigger than a dedicated scanner, but I bought a cheapish Canon all in one printer/scanner/wifi attached thing a few months ago for about £40 from Currys of all places. Does the job

Yes, tars what I have. The toolbox software that comes with it is very good _ so easy to scan to milk paged PDF.Originally posted by SteelyDan View PostCanon LIDE200 (or 210 I think it's now called) is a simple to operate scanner which I use for those types of things.

If you don't need it to be a flat-bed type one then the Fujitsu Scansnap S1300 is a great little bit of kit. Very compact (almost portable), good for scanning documents to searchable PDF files.Comment

I've just bought a portable one, - cheap and compact. I also think it will be easier to scan smaller receipts with it (no need to glue them to an A4 sheet etc.
).
