Linux and a Fujitsu ScanSnap ix500:
plug in scanner
scan using GNOME's "Document Scanner"
Linux and a Fujitsu ScanSnap ix500 just pressing the button:
plug in scanner
install scanbd and add some basic config
a simple shell script to convert the incoming .png files into a pdf
Result: I've blitzed through a whole pile of paperwork very, very quickly.
