I have used ScanCafe for slides, no complaints. But also I do have the Epson v 39 that has been mentioned, I use it mostly for documents. But I think it is ok for old family prints. Tomorrow I’ll scan and post an old family print which I’ll do at 100, 200, 300, 600, 1200, 2400, 3600… We’ll see.

I agree a cheap Epson model photo scanner (like the $100 Epson V39II) will do the job. However, I don't think scanning of ordinary prints at higher than 300 dpi is worthwhile as results will not become better. This in contrast with scanning of negatives or slides. Henk Op za 11 nov 2023 om
