I bought one of these the other week

HP 2400 from my local Staples. Except it was cheaper than the £48 - I think it was around £34.

Works a treat and will be absolutely fine for the purposes you want.

One advantage with the HP 2400 is that it is small and is USB. You can unplug and chuck it in a cupboard til you need it, doesn't take up desk space full time like my all in one

didn't fancy getting an all in one thingy as I have already got a printer I happy with.

Still I might return scanner as tech support from genius dont work out of hours, so for now stuck with it and not working.

all this to scan receipts to email to my accountant

But are all in ones a valid choice - or a compromise?

I must say that my current all in one (Epson Stylus DX4200) performs far better (speed and quality) than the seperate printer (Epson) and scanner (Medion) it replaced.

Canon??????

I suggest you do a search online for "canon unable twain", far too many pages of people (including me) who suddenly find that some software fault means that no programs can connect to the scanner and there appears to be NO SOLUTION other than reinstalling windows.

I got an HP 5990P (I think) and it is really good. Paid £40 on EBAY.
