Any Ideas On A Great Scanner???

A photographer's haven for the lastest in digital or traditional film cameras.

I plan on buying an Epson Stylus Photo 200P printer in the future. It's function will be to make limited edition fine art prints. I'm not sure I would be laying the original work on the scanner or I would be taking 35mm slides from my Contax SLR, or larger format photos from my Hasselblad, and then have them scanned.
I also ended up buying a Fujifilm Finepix 4900 Zoom, which probably wasn't necessary, -so I'll probably use it as a nice compact traveling camera.
Unfortunately, as I got into digital, I found out my old Gateway 2000 G6-180 has only parallel ports and the Fuji requires USB. The parallel adapters for it didn't work. So, I'm going to have to update my cumputor as well. My son-in-law photographer says that there will be something coming out that's faster then USB ports. I think he said "fire-wall" or something like that.
Anyway, I'm just getting into digital, so I'm quite ignorant about it. It's going to get more involved then I at first thought. Maybe someday I can post something on the websites.
