Hi all, I'm wondering in this regard, which scanner has proven to be a good device with accessible and non intrucive drivers. If you listers own a scanner, and you can work well with things like abbey fine reader, with image capture and so on, without being disturbed by an inaccessible driver window popping up while you work in those programs, then please share the brand and type of scanner with me and others. I now have an old cannon lide 25 scanner, but its latest drivers and add-on software, the older ones I have never seen, are not really accessible. I would like to buy a usb powered one, but if another choice is better, of course I'm also open to that. Any advice is much appreciated.
