I have an Epson Scanner, and have been using it for photos for years. I get good quality pictures with it, and have printed documents as well. I have made quilting directions using photo's and has worked well for that too. I have an HP printer that I have also used for years, and I can print 12 X 12 , great for scrapbook pages, and signs. I love it also. When these, die on me, I will consider scanner and printer combo, probably HP.
