Scanning and imaging

I'm a strong supporter of paperless offices. I believe that the reduction of paperwork can really be a benefit to everyone.

This page will house some of my notes for taking my home and office paperless.

Most important of all, I must get a nice auto document feeder. I decided to give HP's all-in-one network scanner a try. They claim they support TWAIN and WIA, but the drivers to install them in WinXP is a pain. I don't know what to do yet on Vista. Linux is also a project. we'll see. I have this feeling I'm going to be SOL.

Linux actually seems to have a bit of scanner support! SANE
