I'm looking to purchase a scanner. I've looked at the supported hardware
list on http://www.sane-project.org though there are many listed there
and I know nothing about scanners.
Perhaps someone here can recommend a model or brand with which they have
personal experience.
Thanks,

Back to the list. Sorry I answered on your email address.
My opinion: try to find one tested and supported at
sane-project.org for example and look on the web for more details:
availability, price.
This database is here to help us make a better choice for working devices.
Did you find something about the scanner you actually have on the
web/lists ?
If your current HP scanner definitely don't work with Debian, not
supported (drivers, firmwares...) what is it with the next debian release ?
For example: my girlfriend's "photosmart all in one" HP printer/scanner
is cheap for photography and costs 100$.
Last year, I updated to debian testing to get the printer/scanner system
to work (newer free debian printer driver package [hplip]).
This printer/scanner combo is not part of my photography workflow but
here is what I quickly get with the scanner and a partly damaged photo:

I only set the resolution, nothing else.
Why not try to find a reseller you can ask for returning products before
buying one ? If you are very carefull with packaging and hardware it's
possible to return it after few hours/days and get money back.
