OK, this s h i t e Canon Lide parallel port job is driving me insane enough to get a new scanner. I like Canon cameras and the printers are good too, but the Lide scanner is slow and the CanoCraft software it requires is incredibly awful and buggy.
So, Geekzonistas: what would you recommend? A4 at least, A3 would be nice; it's for scanning photos and artwork mainly.
