DownSouth,

Recommendations would be appreciated.

HP ;).

Seriously, if you're going to be scanning large documents at high resolutions, go for one with a high-speed interface. I haven't tried the USB models, but you'd be much better off with a SCSI model instead of a parallel port model.

The more memory in your system, the better, as well.

Finally, calibrate the scanner well to whatever device you're going to be viewing/printing to. It's taken me quite a while to realize that scanning to print on a photo printer is not the same as scanning for the monitor (and even printing on regular paper versus photo paper need different calibrations). I'm going to have to go back and rescan quite a bit of stuff and save in for a variety of formats.
