[sane-devel] Best choice for an ADF

Some time ago I was looking for one, too, and I ended up in buying a 
Fax-Copy-Scan-Printer with an ADF (originally for 'multi-page-fax'). It 
is of course not a professional scanner, but fully serves my purposes, 
which is scanning heaps of book pages from previously made photocopies.

I bought the "Brother MFC 3240C". Brother offers both a SANE-backend for 
scanning and a LPR-driver for printing. 
(http://solutions.brother.com/linux/sol/printer/linux/sane_drivers.html

Both installed and run without any problems on Debian.
I'm using scanadf from the command line.

The price was 150,- EUR, which is far cheaper than any 'real' scanner 
with an ADF, as far as I know.
This may not be helpful if you need highest optical quality, but 
otherwise I can recommend using such a device.
