I recently purchased the Epson NX530. It was $79 at BestBuy in Canada. I really like it.
I can scan wonderfully from my Mac. It also copies and it prints wirelessly from my Mac, iPhone and iPad. It prints double-sided and it photo prints. And it prints fairly fast.
For the price point, it is a real winner.

The Epson NX530 is not just a scanner. It is an all-in-one printer, scanner, copier. Much more than the poster was asking about.
The Epson Perfection V33 Scanner ($59.99) is a good general-purpose flat-bed scanner.
The Epson V330 Photo Scanner is the same thing with a 35mm transparency unit. ($79.99)

Yes...this is what I suggested for a friend. It seems to be quite good. I don't remember if it does books, but every Epson I've seen does, so I assume it does, too.

Thanks, Otto. I ran one loop of Rember with result that RAM looks OK, but I had to interpret the log to conclude that. (I was going to run 4 loops but had to cancel after one to get another job done.) I'll try running a few more loops later (it takes quite a while). I couldn't find where to download Memtest on the link you gave. It looked like just a description of the application.
If everything still looks OK I'll brute force it by removing the 8GB of OWC RAM, buttoning up the machine and trying that to see if the problem persists with only the original 8GB installed.
BTW, is Apple Hardware Test still around? I couldn't find it on the iMac and I didn't get an OS disc with the computer.

I have 8GB of OWC memory modules in the second bank of memory slots on my iMac (2.8 GHz Intel Core i7, 21.5-inch, Mid 2011) running OS 10.8.2.
If only one application is crashing, my first guess at the problem wouldn't be that you have bad RAM.
My first guess would be a corrupted user preferences file for the program. You can easily see if this is the problem.
- Quit Preview.
- Click on the desktop to get into the Finder.
- Hold down the Option Key and access the Go menu.
- Choose Library in the Go menu.
- Open the Preferences folder.
- Drag the file "com.apple.Preview.
(There are a couple of other files there called:
com.apple.Preview.
com.apple.Preview.
Note them but leave them alone for now.)
- Close everything up.
Launch Preview and see if things are better. Make sure that the problem isn't simply with one PDF file (which might be corrupted.)
If things aren't resolved, you may want to try moving the two files that you noted above to the desktop also.
If things are resolved, you can trash the file(s) that you moved to the desktop. The Mac OS automatically generates new uncorrupted preferences files to replace those you moved to the desktop, so the ones on the desktop are now superfluous.

Surprisingly, I don't have a file "com.apple.Preview.
com.apple.Preview.
com.apple.Preview.
com.apple.Preview.
com.apple.Preview.
BTW, Rember continues to report all RAM as 'OK,' as did System Profiler and Techtool. I'm puzzled, though, about the info on the OWC memory module information from Profiler being given as :
Manufacturer: 0x0000
Part Number: 0x00000000000000000
Serial Number: 0x00000000
The Apple modules have full information there.
Also, I just remembered that a few days before the Preview problem I had a problem wherein Word (2008) would quit without completing a 'Save As' instruction. That seems to have gone away, though.

I've discovered that the fault in problems involving the operation of applications shouldn't automatically be blamed on the application or its environment — the document must be considered also. After neither memory nor preferences proved to be the culprit I went back to the source of the document (which was a user guide to an application) and downloaded it again.
The problem went away! The new document was about 1 MB smaller than the original 11+MB file. Then I noticed that it was also a newer version of the document. I also note that I should have tried another PDF to see if it worked! (I'm ashamed to admit that one of my early positions was as a test engineer.)

Sorry I didn't hit 'Reply All' on this response. As a result it only went to Randy, but it is part of a thread in which others may well be interested.

Howdy.
Back from trip to New Mexico and a house cursed by a New Orleans VooDoo
Queen who must have put a Gris Gris on it.
Leaks, broken glass, dead stove, more leaks, TV and computer
weirdness.
All why I haven't participated much recently!!
- - - - -
Something fun for first post since returning!!
An Easter Egg just in time for the release of the Hobbit movie.
I think I found this while waiting for a flight at Atlanta's
Hartsfield-Jackson airport, now the busiest in the world.
Try this and think of the new Hobbit movie.
You can view the full tally of fantastical event dates by heading to
your Mac's Terminal utility and typing the following (or copy this line
from this message and paste into Terminal at the prompt):
cat /usr/share/calendar/calendar.lotr
Once you hit enter, your computer will spit out a nicely detailed list
of major dates associated with Lord of the Rings events.

Howdy.
I recently gave an iPhone 4 to my next door neighbor's son. It has a
cracked glass screen but otherwise works fine. He has bought cracked
glass i devices before on the used market.
His mom got him a SIM card for it and it's making calls.
I discovered that there are many places where cracked glass
i-Phone-Pad-Pod screens can be repaired along with other repairs such
as a sticky Home button.
So this post is just an example of one of these places but with a
twist. A Google/Yahoo search will come up with many repair sites and
companies in your area or country.
This particular one is centered in the Washington, DC, region but the
twist is that they come to your location, home or office, to do the
repair.
iScreen Service
Convenient. Fast. Reliable.
iPad®, iPhone®, and iPod® repairs.
Northern VA, DC, MD USA | phone: 571-423-9400
<http://www.iscreenservice.com/iphonescreenreapirs.html >
Their advertised fee is $84 USD for the iPhone 4 model glass screen.
I don't know if they have a trip fee or house call additional charge.
