And there's the hack of using an old computer. I use the 2010 Mac laptop, and scan to a memory stick.

The unused AIO printer will scan to one in its accessory panel. And it has simple auto feed. People are giving them away due to ink costs. Most scan.

The RadioShark won't work with anything newer than the Mac laptop.
