Can anyone recommend a good scanner for WinXP? We have an HP scanjet that worked fine under Win98 but HP's WinXP drivers are horrendous. It frequently quits working, and when it does the scan quality is atrocious. It sucks because it was a great scanner and used to work fine. However, it appears that we're in need of a newer one.
Any recommendations? I'd like to keep it under $150-$200, we don't need anything really fancy or super-high quality. Usage is mostly for scanning in documents for copying or photos for archiving. I'm mostly looking for scanners that you're using under WinXP with good results and no problems.
Scanner recommendations?

At home I'm using a Cannon (Canoscan or some ridiculous name like that) Lide 30. No frills, simple USB scanner. Runs fine in XP Pro. Picked it up because it was cheap ($25 after MIR) and small. Comes with a stand so you can set it up sideways. Not the easiest way to scan but keeps it out of the way for storage and you can just lay it down flatbed if you have serious scanning to do.
