[Ham-Computers] New Scanner and Printer Needed

[Duane Fischer, W8DBF]

Hi All,

It is past time for the old blind dude here to upgrade some computer 
equipment! I need a good color printer and a good color flatbed scanner.

Since I have not been paying attention to the market, as what I had worked 
fine, I now need your suggestions as to what is good and reasonably priced.

The system is a Windows XP Home Edition at 3 GHZ with slightly over 1 GHZ of 
RAM.

I assume that I can plug the scanner into the parallel port of the computer 
and the printer into the back of the scanner?

Any suggestions you might have for a good quality color printer and color 
scanner would be appreciated.

If it matters, the color printer will be used exclusively for printing in 
color! All text will be done by reliable old HP 4P Laser printer. She is 
sixteen years old and working like she was still new!

Thanks for your learned suggestions!
