You are right. I think 50 page business card (250 g/m2) are a bit to much to ask, but but an ADF for 10 times A8 (74 ? 52 mm) (250 g/m2) business cards would be nice. I also did some searching, and found that even the most sick priced >3000 euro scanners that do scan A8 (business card) sized media do not indicate that they are capable of scanning 250 g/m2 paper... So this seems to be an useless parameter to select a new scanner on...? Last year I replaced my standalone HP ScanJet 6300c ADF scanner (support broke with a new sane version) with a new HP Officejet J5780 http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/product?product=3301296 This printer with ADF only cost 130 euro and scans very nice. I did have regression issues (HP messed up there code) with the network saned server systems. But support of Julien BLACHE has been really good so now I got a very usefull scanner setup togheter with my pct-scanner-scripts available in Debian. I manage a few hundred scans per week, duplex is not really needed, I got a nice software rearrange duplex feature. I looked a bit further and found the following two options: ScanSnap S300 (between 200 and 320 euro) http://www.fujitsu.com/us/services/computing/peripherals/scanners/scansnap/s300.html ^^^ that looks like an useful addition to my scanner setup. I want to buy this one but I am so afraid I will not get the sane driver features I need because of an under developed driver. Are my fears justified!? http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=6619498&postcount=11 http://www.sane-project.org/man/sane-epjitsu.5.html If somebody can convince me that missing features that are supported by the hardware will be added to the driver then I will buy this unit... ScanSnap S1500 (between 420 and 496 euro) http://www.fujitsu.com/us/services/computing/peripherals/scanners/scansnap/scansnap-s1500.html ^^^ this scanner is also an option but its lot of money. I got perfect results with a 130 euro all-in-one but no A8 scan support. Would 450 euro be worth it? It driver seems to be developed with the availiable featurs. http://www.sane-project.org/man/sane-fujitsu.5.html Any advice is welcome. Thanks in advance, Best regards, Jelle
