The Canon 2050 Scanner works very well but setup is a little confusing and I have not been able to scan directly from the scanner. Scanning from the computer works fine.

Second to none....

As a basic scanner adequate. For document feeder a reliable, fast unit at LOW resolutions. Unfortunately at 400dpi+ fairly slow. Most printers are now capable of 600dpi+ so for near reproduction quality 300-400 dpi required at a minimum. Taking a look at Google Books and they have clearly used only a 150/200 dpi scan and most pages are blurred, not easily read etc so 200dpi is NOT sufficient despite what marketing folk may have everyone try to believe.
The Canon drivers are relatively stable but far from good. They provide basic services, crash occasionally and have a really annoying reset that clears all the settings every time you load. You can save various profiles but not being able to set a default profile wastes a lot of time. The other problem with the drivers is the intermittent AutoFeed at start - sometimes it will scan the 1st page sometimes it skips it. You can fiddle about with various buttons every time to guarantee a 1st page scan but yet again wasting time. Should be able to load a set of documents, start scanning, done - it is never that simple. This is a general problem with all Canon drivers not the specific one for this scanner.
Not a critical problem at the moment but becoming critical in 3 months - NO planned 64-bit windows support and NO planned Vista support.
Best of luck supporting these scanners
