We also have a printer that is fast going belly up.  A scanner would be a convenience, because it&#8217;s a pain in the neck to take photos of my old magazines.

Before buying anything, we checked the footprint of the space we were going to put it.  I started to clear off a space for it where the old scanner was, buried under piles of paper.  Just for kicks, I checked the internet one more time and whaddya know.  A new driver for the scanner.  And by new, I mean it was uploaded in 2003.<\/p>\n<p>Check it out.  The scanner works.  It&#8217;ll be cheaper to get a good printer that&#8217;s not also a scanner, so this is a good thing.<\/p>\n<p>My vintage ads and the scanner and I are going to have a grand time.  The old pulps, like the 1945 &#8220;True Experiences&#8221; magazine that this Philip Morris ad came from, weren&#8217;t made to last.  The paper&#8217;s thin and the back side bleeds through on a scan.  But hey, who cares?  I&#8217;m scanning!
