Thank you and 4 others who suggested specific models. As I wrote, I didn't 
look at multifunction printers because I don't print much and the ink dries 
out. But, since three of the replies did refer to multifuntion devices, I have 
another question. What happens when the ink dries or clogs? Can I still use 
these devices to scan? The reason I ask is that after looking at prices, I 
realize that a multi-function is CHEAPER than a stand alone scanner. But, it 
would be useless to me if I have to keep feeding it expensive ink just to be 
able to scan.
