...and I thought that I would mention it here in case someone else wants to get the deal I did (which ends March 31).
It's an Epson RX620 from the EspsonStore (get to it from epson.com) and the $299 printer was $149 (free shipping) after mail in rebates. I think it's a discontinued model (RX700 is in their current lineup).
There wasn't a review for it in the review section (yet) but I decided to get it anyway.
It scans film and slides as well as regular text and photos and has a USB input and card reader built in so it can be used as a stand alone photo printer and copier as well as being a scanner and printer controlled from the computer. You can also scan to memory cards or a stand alone USB connected hard drive.
I haven't given it much of a shakedown yet but a quick print using PS and scanning of a slide and some color film seemed to work pretty well. I don't imagine it's up to professional level scanning but it seemed pretty good for a $150 unit.
I'll write a review for it once I get a little more experience with it.
