My scanner, the only one I have had, is a Canoscan D1230U, bought on sale at Fry's. It came with the capability to scan flat pieces, as well as negatives and transparencies of various sizes. I have build adapters for additional film sizes and which move the film closer to the scanning plane. Works just fine for me.
My printer was bought, first of all, because it can print on the backs of CD's and DVD's which have paper labels on them or which come as printable blanks. Epson Stylus Photo R200, (bought on sale at Fry's) for a couple hundred bucks.
The Epson Stylus Photo 200 is the low-end high-quality Epson printer. I have had one for three or four years and do find it does all that I need to do at home.
Part of the disconnect in this discussion is that most of us are amateurs. Some of us are really talented and capable amateurs, but we do not feed our family through our photography. We cannot amortize our investments on our taxes or write off the cost of equipment or software upgrades. That does change the equation, quite a bit. (Since I have retired from the practice of law, I can no longer write off the cost of the daily newspaper or my annual subscription to THE ECONOMIST, as an example.)
