Ticking time bomb
I used to like this scanner except for the excessive amount of dust previously mentioned in other reviews, then, I unplugged it.I tried to plug it back in and it would not work, the twain drivers were not recognized.After reinstalling both the scanner and twain drivers per epson's 5 day late response it still would not work.I suspected compatibility issues with Photoshop or Fireworks, uninstalled those programs, removed any reference to twain extensions or epson from the registry to no avail.I plugged in a co-worker's scanner which worked immediately.Epson probably has some of the worst software coders I have come across.Finally, I solved the problem, running it over with my car ala Office Space.

Worked GREAT.. at FIRST!
Okay.. had I posted a review for this scanner within the first few months of owning it, I would have given it rave reviews a-la most of the other reviews here. I'm glad procrastinated. I noticed dust starting to appear in my scans. At first they were negligable, easilly mistaken for a spec on the picture itself, but I can fully attest that over time the dust will accumulate under the glass and your scans will have a considerable amount of noise. Sure your software can clean it up, but a quality scanner shouldn't make you do that manual work. So in short, I only recommend this scanner if you love dust! I wouldn't take it for free if someone gave it to me! The only reason I rated 2 stars instead of 1 is becaus it did work well for the first few months. After sitting, it's become useless to me.

I have no complaints about this scanner!
This scanner replaces an old UMAX scsi scanner.From setup to first scan this scanner is a breeze.My wife uses it everyday and it hasn't given her one problem.It's fast, reliable and worth every penny. ... Read more

Not a professional scanner
Using this scanner is a frustrating experience. The current software from HP's site does not work well with Mac OS X. There is an option to descreen, but it doesn't do anything. The descreening option is either on or off, there are no parameters to set. The software interface is not intuitive, and the scanner is noisy, too. This is some of the worst software in recent history. There is no "scan" button. What kind of scanning software doesn't have a nice, big "scan" button? Don't buy this scanner. Buy an Epson or Agfa instead.

Mac OSX? Stay clear of this scanner
I use a scanner daily in my work as a college teacher, as I put most of my teaching materials online. I was impressed with the specs of this scanner, revews were positive, and was happy for about two weeks. Then I bought a new Mac G5, OS 10.3 Panther. The 8200 software was incompatable for a very long time, during which I had to go back to my old scanner, as did all other Mac users. Amazon was not my friend here. Hp finally issued an new version of the software, of which all I can say is beware, under no circumstancces should you install this on any system later than 10.2.8. If it has been some time since you used a windows machine, you might get all teary-eyed and sentimental when you start experiencing system crashes, kernel panic, data loss. Hp's reaction is screw you, you bought the machine, and now you expect it to work? Do you realize how little we care? I have learned to deal with daily crashes, and reinstall my system software about every two weeks.

do not buy an HP scanner
I have windows xp.I installed the software, connected this scanner via USB 2.0, and have had nothing but misery since.For example, while I am writing this I am waiting the 5 minutes it takes to do a negative scan job using the HP software.Everything about this scanner is slow.Ok, well I once scanned a text document in, that went pretty fast, but if you want anything greater than 200 dpi scans be prepared to wait - and wait.

Works well
The Microtek Scanmaker 4800 has done all I have ask it to do.

good but
The scanner has been good for everything I scanned except some photo's. Most photo's have spots on them after scanning that I can't seem to get rid of no matter what I do to try to adjust it. The picture they use to do adjustments is too small to see what you are doing. It will look good but then when you save it and go in to look at it, it still isn't right. It could be a little faster too. I don't understand why it will scan some photo's well and some are really bad. I cleaned it as directed and still it came out bad. Not my choice of scanner from now on. Will go to Cannon.

Works great for me in Windows 2000 and xp

The Epson Expression 10000XL graphic arts edition is a large-format flatbed scanner designed for graphic artists and other high-end users. With its high 2,400 dpi scanning resolution, 48-bit internal color depth, and 3.8 optical density, images are crisp and accurate. The six-line alternated color CCD and auto focus optics system help to ensure that you get the best scans possible. Scan speeds are as high as 2.7 ms/line (at 1,200 dpi), while an optional automatic document feeder allows you to scan multiple sheets at a time. You can zoom in 1% increments anywhere from 50% to 200%.Read more

Hardware good, software bad.
I have owned my 2050C for about 3 weeks. Whilst it has integrated quite well into my offices, it did take a 5 hours of frustration, an email to tech support, a 2 day wait for a reply, and a download of the latest CapturePerfect (3.0.30 iirc) to get multipage documents batching to pdf's without a consistent lockup on or about the 3rd document.
Follow-up to DR-2080C
I have not (yet) bought the Canon DR-2050C, but studied its specifications. It seems to be equivalent to the predecessor Canon DR-2080C, except for the supplied software and the computer interface. If you can, go back and read the reviews for the DR-2080C. The old model featured both a USB 2.0 and a SCSI-II connection. The new model has only the USB 2.0 interface. The exterior design is also a little different, with the new model being a little more rounded. Let's be clear: Both are A4/legal size scanners. The talk of scanning A3 documents (11x16 inches) is a software feature that requires you fold your A3 documents to scan front and back at the same time. Software can then stitch the two images together again.

Excellent scanner for negatives and slides
I have had this scanner now for several months and have had quite a bit of experience with it. I chose this scanner, although in some reviews I read it didn't get the highest marks, because it had the film adaptors I needed for my negatives - specifically 2 1/4" negatives. I couldn't find another good scanner with that particular size. But I have been very happy with it - couldn't be happier. I didn't have any problem with software, hardware or speed. Nothing has gone wrong. I use a top of the line iMac with 1 GB of memory and I'm sure that helps speedwise. I have found the software that is supplied with the scanner to be more than adequate (the Epson driver, Photoshop Elements 2, and Silverfast), though I eventually upgraded to PhotoShop Elements 3. I haven't used Silverfast much at all because I found the combination of the Epson driver and PhotoShop Elements to be able to do everything I needed on my 65 year old negatives. One reviewer said this scanner is overkill. It is if you are only going to scan photos. Its strength is in being able to get good resolution on negatives and slides for a moderate price.I have used the scanner with both Mac OSX 10.3.8 and 10.4.2 and there are no problems on either one.

Outstanding
I am amazed at the ability of this scanner. Its definitely worth the money, as is most Epson products.
Excellent scanner for the price
I just received the scanner today. It was easily installed and worked great out of the box. This scanner is identical to the PRO version (the only difference is the additional software in PRO). For home and family photo scanning this version is more than enough. If you are a serious photography hobbyist or professional, the extra software (upgrade in Silver Fast from the LE version plus Monaco EZ Color calibrating system) in the PRO version more than makes up for the price difference. After much thought, I went with the PRO version. The software does have a slight learning curve, but even winging it on my first scan I got great results. I have been very happy with all my Epson products over the years and this scanner, I can tell, will fall into the same category. ... Read more

Unhappy with software
We have a version of this scanner from last year.Even with a new software download the print function is very unsatisfactory.

my HP2200c scanner was junk
After a three days of successful scanning of about 50 photos, my newly purchased HP2200c scanner made a loud pop, and electrical smelling smoke came from it.It was just sitting there and BANG!It made OK scans (I've seen better) but never worked again after the BANG.

No review - need help
My granddaughter gave me her unused scanner, hp 2200c, but has lost the software. How do I find an installation disk? I'll be glad to purchase what's needed. Thanx, Bill

Very nice scanner
I've owned this scanner for almost two years and has worked perfectly for everything I scan.Never a glitch.Unfortunately I'm now needing one that will scan negatives and slides as well.I wish they were as cheaply priced as this one was.For a first time user, you can't go wrong in buying this little workhorse. ...

Paul
All operations of the scanner work well with the exception of the feature to scan positive slides and negatives.These are of poor quality.

probably incompatible with Mac OS10.4
Although my scanner is a 5900, which will not work with my new Mac (G4, running Tiger 10.4.2), this one uses the same "ScanWizard 5" software package so the odds are pretty good that the 6800 won't work on current Macs either. This failure is after numerous contacts with their tech support and repeated downloads of drivers, but for some reason it will not load the "scanner finder" - obviously a critical component. I have given up and will upgrade, probably to a Canon, but what a waste of what SHOULD be a still-functional item.

Major software and driver problems
Read a lot about the 6800 and was looking forward to using it.After hours of trying to install the drivers, both the one included on the CD and the update on the Microtek website, I finally gave up.The computer would recognize the scanner if I was using Photoshop but not if I was using it as a stand alone.Big problem since the Digital Ice feature (the reason I bought this scanner) only works through their proprietary software.I compared the scans in Photoshop with others I had done with an inexpensive HP All-In-One.There was basically no difference.Not wanting the headache of endless time spent with tech support, I packed it up and sent it back.Now looking for an alternative. ...
