So let me ask this question; what are good scanners now days? I know there are some high end scanners that do Firewire (about ~$400) and some scanners even have SCSI. Any recommendations and/or horror stories for a particular scanner for use on FreeBSD? Anyone have experience with that HP scanner that is "clear".
