I realize that this posting is two years old, but I wanted to share my input/advice/experience for anyone else who happens to be shopping for a flatbed scanner! The Canon CanoScan LiDE 210 is the best photo and document scanner I've ever used. It bought it on sale from Newegg.com for $90 about 18 months ago and I love it. It's thin and light enough to fit in my laptop bag with my 14" laptop AND it is powered by the USB connection that it uses to transfer data. It's awesome.

Downloaded HP Print and Scan Doctor but when I try to "Run" it, I again get an error message, What error are you getting ? Some information below perhaps you have already seen it http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/LaserJet-Printing/Envy-5530-Can-print-but-can-t-scan/td-p/3652716

Need a scanner I can take with me to relatives house and scan their photos to print later. I have a Flip-Pal scanner but it scans all the way across instead of just the picture and I have to edit each picture and crop. Time consuming when I have a bunch to do. Any recommendations on another scanner that would work for me?
