I stupidly left the scanner in such a way that the dog was able to trip over the cable, bringing the scanner down, aaaaaand no more functional scanner. Luckily the model I used has gotten cheaper over the last few years, and a lightly used one was ending on eBay soon for even less, so for $35 shipped I'll be back in business in a bit over a week.
