Yes, that occured to me, too. I was about to buy a HP OfficeJet Pro 7720
Wide multi-function device. But now that I've found me a really cheap
second-hand Fujitsu ScanSnap S510M document scanner, I'm going for two
separate devices, a flat-bed and a document scanner (see my other mail).

But thanks for the hint. The Brother multi-function printers look good.

Cheers,
