I agree with Epson scanners. I have an Epson Perfection 1200U Photo scanner that I would highly recommend. The model I have is about 1-2 years old so it is probably not available now. Great quality and scan speeds. It scans much faster than a few other USB (1.1) scanners I've tried.

Printers? I only have an HP Laser (b&w). I would definately buy another one in the future. I don't have a color inkjet, so I can't make any recommendations there.

Good luck, Matt
