Are you by any chance equipped to scan 11x17 fanfold listings...?

Of course any copy shop will do that for me one page at a time. The
last quote I got for scanning and OCRing around 100 pages was well
over $500.

I have an old Canon scanner with a document feeder that will handle
11x17 fed lengthwise, which would mean bursting the fanfold, but the
bigger problem is that it seems to have stopped talking to my network.
Any experts in Canon iR22xx machines out there...?

I've also been thinking of using an old HP tractor-feed printer I have
as a platform to position the listings, and then a decent (DSLR?)
camera. Needs some software to make everything happen together,
though.
