Windowas Vista

Have recently acquired Windows Vista + new computer
(birthday pressy) Very pleased with it but my Canoscan flatbed scanner N65OU is not compatable it is old as was my other Computer so it really owed me nothing. Can you suggest a reasonable replacement. I have searched online but have found nothing in the up to �£50 range

PS as your oldest member please be gentle with me!

 

There are plenty low priced scanners about Rosie.

Sorry but I'm unable to comment on the quality of any of them, but the reviews may help.

 

Rosie this is from Argos catalogue but Morrisons have the same model on offer at �£50!




As you see it's an all-in-one Scanner/copier/printer/fax

 

We have a Lexmark X1270 all in one, similar to the one jjordie suggested (but more basic and therefore much cheaper). For a while I was borrowing a laptop with Vista on it (long story) and it worked fine on there (have now retreated back to my old XP laptop...). It does use up ink at a phenomenal rate though.

I have a four year old Lexmark X1100 and am considering updating to the X4945
so I will have to think about it if it drinks a lot! My present one is not too bad on
the ink. It obviously depends on how much it is used :rolleyes: but my son has a Canon,
don't know the model number, and the ink cartridges for that are really expensive.

Re my Canon Scanner, Found a replacement on Amazon bit like the one that died @ �£28 post free....the Canon flatbed takes up a small space which is all I have and appears to be Vista compatible had also got decent reviews from people that had bought it,
I do have a perfectly good HP printer which embraced Vista so only needed a scanner but thanks for your help.
Oh the age thing ahaa.... 77 last week :D

 

My Dad had the same problem.
He got the Epson DX6000 Printer scanner copier.
I think he paid about �£50 from Tesco.
He is very pleased with it and it also takes up a lot less room.
With less wires.
It takes compatable inks.
They are about �£10.00 a set but are cheaper the more you buy.
Example 3 sets you can get for about �£24.00.

 

Dave, I have just been going through old receipts and find that the Canon Scanner I bought in 2001 cost �£70
They have come down in price!

 

Have you bought it yet rosietu?

If not you can actually install xp drivers with a bit off faffing aabout if your not using vista 64 bit.
