A lot of people seem to be suggesting Canon.

If you think you'll be using Mac OS X sometime, make sure the Canon
scanner you get has a Mac OS X driver. 

I bought a Canon printer in July 2000 and Canon Support have just told me
they aren't likely to be making a Mac OS X driver for it! In other words,
I'll have to buy a whole new printer if I want to print from Mac OS X
apps. Needless to say my new printer won't be a Canon.
