I'm looking for a scanner.  Mainly for scanning photo's & things onto
the net, although some printing of photo's and picture will be required,
so I won't just be scanning at 72dpi. Either parallel or SCSI (paralle
prefered, though).  Must work with Win3.11, although I could upgrade if
I really had to.  Recommendations, anybody?

A friend has a Black Widow, the successor to the 4800SP.  His printouts
(using EPSON400) are a bit pinker than the originals, and washed-out.
Is this the scanner or printer?

Also, where can I buy whatever scanner you recommend, preferably either
mail order, or in Birmingham UK.

Cheers.

Cash converters in kings heath have a few new trust 4800sp scanners
for 72lbs, & mine works as well as any other scanner i've used.

Thanks, Roy, but I will *never* go to Jessops again.  After being
ignored in favour of queue-jumpers (plural!!) yesterday - they must not
like leather jackets -  I was about ready to rearrange certain parts of
the shop & the assistants, so I left.  Bad day in general, yesterday.

They always seem friendly to me - especially the gothy looking girl.

Didn't notice her - mind you, I was with my girlfirend, so I wouldn't
have been allowed to notice her.

Thanks to everybody for the advice.  Now I need to know... well, look in
my other thread on this one.  And the answer ISN'T 42!!
