I currently have a Brother multi-function fax/copier/scanner.  I don't use it often, but I find it useful. I probably scan more than I print..  I've found it useful to scan receipts & paperwork sometimes - When I bought my current car, I scanned all the paperwork to a PDF so I can look at it easily on my computer if I want to.
