Hi,

i'm looking for a USB scanner, which should run under XP SP1.

I cannot decides between the following ones:

Canon 3200F
Epson Perfection 2480
Umax Astra 4600

Does any of these ones have an on/off switch?

Which of them has the best drivers working with little problems under
XP?

Or could anybody recommand another scanner in the price range up to
150¤. I don't have much expierence with HP, so i need some advice on
this.

Thanks for any advice.


Roman

Newegg. I use XP Home with SP1. One problem if you can live with
it....it does not have an on off button, so I put mine on a separate,
cheap little surge protector...giving it its own on/off switch. It was
rated very highly in PC World.com, magazine. I love mine because it
scans negs and slides. But I have a slide of the Pieta from the 64
Worlds Fair and because it is so dark, (indoor pic), it would not
scan. Otherwise, for the price, I don't think you can beat it. LOL

I would personally avoid Epson. Our customers have had to many issues with
Epson.
