| Spike Photographer  Location United Kingdom Hertfordshire St Albans | Since I can't find any windows 7 drivers for my Scanmaker 8700 It looks like a need a new flatbed. Now just looking for a half decent A4 flatbed for scanning tear sheets & the odd old print for retouching, thinking Epson or Canon. From what I can see you can get something pretty good for around the £100 ish - though if there is a good reason will spend more. Any recommendaions would be helpful, thanks |

| AJPpics Photographer Location United Kingdom Hampshire Ash, Aldershot | I've got the Epson V300 Photo, which is pretty good. It scans slides (4 at a time) as well as prints and the results are quite useable. Alan |

| anthonyh Photographer Location United Kingdom Essex | You could get a multipurpose scanner / printer / copier for that price range if all you want to do is scan prints...or as suggested, try Vuescan. |

| bailey_p Photographer  Location United Kingdom Cheshire Manchester | I dont know if you have tried the following, it appears to suggest you no longer need to purchase a new scanner just to download a driver. http://support.microtek.com/knowledgebase_1/kbdtl.phtml?request=KB-00106SW Microtek will not be releasing certified driver for the ScanMaker 8700. Microtek has tested the last windows XP 32 bit driver for the scanners below and it has worked. Many customers who have used this driver, have successfully installed the scanner. The driver can be downloaded at the end of this document.
