The part that royally pisses me off is that a roommate used to work for Lexmark. One day he brings home an "all in one" printer, fax, scanner, and something else I am forgetting. Best scanner I have ever seen. No light bar. The thing worked by taking four pictures and digitally meshing them together. When you scanned a document, there was a series of 4 rapid flashes. One Magenta, one Cyan, one Yellow, one White.

The damn thing was absolutely perfect at digitizing anything you put onto the unit's scanning glass, but it did have a design issue where the scanning glass wasn't parallel to the floor, and was instead tilted like a desktop picture frame.

According to my roommate, that particular design flaw is why they decided to kill the printer, never releasing it to the public. AFAIK they never even tried that scanning tech in any other printer.
